Coronavirus disease 2019 screening can evaluate large numbers of patients while reducing healthcare exposures and limiting further spread of the virus. Temperature screening has been a focal point of case detection during the pandemic because it is one of the earliest and most frequently reported manifestations of the illness. We describe important factors to consider of screened individuals as well as the measurement process and current outcomes. Optimal temperature-based screening involves both individual and environmental factors as well as reconsideration of the current fever threshold.
2019冠状病毒病筛查能够在减少医疗暴露并限制病毒进一步传播的同时,对大量患者进行评估。体温筛查一直是疫情期间病例检测的重点,因为它是该疾病最早且最常报告的表现之一。我们描述了筛查个体时需要考虑的重要因素以及测量过程和当前结果。基于体温的最佳筛查涉及个体和环境因素,以及对当前发热阈值的重新考量。
