Infrared thermography for risk reduction of nosocomial cross infections during the COVID-19 pandemic: potential application in healthcare facilities. Millenium, 2 (nº14), 11-19. DOI: 10.29352/mill0214.20456http://hdl.handle.net/10400.19/6603Among 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.enginfrared thermographyCovid-19pandemiccross-infectioncardiovascular diseasejournal article2021-02-2310.29352/mill0214.20456
