OBJECTIVE
To determine whether temperature screening is useful in detecting and reducing workplace transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
METHODS
A survey was conducted to determine whether temperature screening successfully identified workers with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among a convenience sample of medical directors of multinational corporations in a wide range of industries.
RESULTS
More than 15 million screenings were performed by 14 companies. Fewer than 700 episodes of fever were identified. Of these, only about 53 cases of COVID-19 were detected. By contrast about 2000 workers with diagnosed COVID-19 were in the workplace and not detected by screening.
CONCLUSIONS
One case of COVID-19 was identified by screening for approximately every 40 cases that were missed. Worksite temperature screening was ineffective for detecting workers with COVID-19 and is not recommended.
目的
确定体温筛查是否有助于发现和减少 SARS-CoV-2 在工作场所的传播。
方法
对多家不同行业跨国公司的医疗主管进行了一项调查，以确定体温筛查是否成功识别出了患有 2019 冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的劳动者。
结果
14 家公司共进行了超过 1500 万次筛查，发现不到 700 例发热病例。其中，仅检测到约 53 例 COVID-19。相比之下，约 2000 名患有 COVID-19 的工人在工作场所，未通过筛查发现。
结论
筛查发现 COVID-19 的病例数大约是漏检病例数的 40 倍。工作场所体温筛查无法有效发现患有 COVID-19 的劳动者，不建议使用。
