COVID-19 pandemics required a reorganisation of social spaces to prevent the spread of the virus. Due to the common presence of fever in the symptomatic patients, temperature measurement is one of the most common screening protocols. Indeed, regulations in many countries require temperature measurements before entering shops, workplaces, and public buildings. Due to the necessity of providing rapid non-contact and non-invasive protocols to measure body temperature, infra-red thermometry is mostly used. Many countries are now facing the need to organise the return to school and universities in the COVID-19 era, which require solutions to prevent the risk of contagion between students and/or teachers and technical/administrative staff. This paper highlights and discusses some of the strengths and limitations of infra-red cameras, including the site of measurements and the influence of the environment, and recommends to be careful to consider such measurements as a single "safety rule" for a good return to normality.
新冠疫情要求对社会空间进行重新组织以防止病毒传播。由于有症状的患者普遍存在发热症状，体温测量是最常见的筛查方案之一。事实上，许多国家的规定要求在进入商店、工作场所和公共建筑之前进行体温测量。由于需要提供快速的非接触式和非侵入式体温测量方案，红外测温法被广泛使用。许多国家目前面临着在新冠疫情时代组织学生返校和大学复课的需求，这需要采取措施防止学生和/或教师与技术/行政人员之间的传染风险。本文重点介绍并讨论了红外摄像机的一些优点和局限性，包括测量地点和环境的影响，并建议谨慎地将此类测量视为恢复正常的单一“安全规则”。
