Abstract
|
|
|
|
Between August 31st and September 4th 2020 in a tertiary care hospital in Seoul, the fever detection rate by infrared thermoscanning camera at the gates was 0.002% (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.001%?0.006%) and that by manual fever check at the outpatient clinics was 0.02% (95% CI, 0.01%?0.03%) (P < 0.001). The difference strongly suggests that sensitivity of the thermoscanning camera in the market must be upgraded.
