Thermal imaging systems not appropriate for COVID-19 mass screenings

March 5, 2021

The agency’s concern is that these systems are being used without consideration for the limitations, including that they are not appropriate for mass screenings due to inaccurate findings that could elevate the risk of spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
