Resumo(s)
Among millions of people who may be infected with COVID-19, patients with cardiovascular disease and cancer exhibit the highest risks of having worse outcomes. These patients are subject to chronic disease decompensation and may be subjected to cross infection while visiting health facilities that are taking care of COVID-19 infected patients. Infrared thermography is a radiation-free, relatively inexpensive, non-contact, and non-invasive technology that could be used for mass-screening of patients and visitors with fever, especially in services where patients with cardiovascular disease seek for medical care, reducing the risk of cross infection.
