Temperture Monitoring
Temperture Monitoring
In Singapore - Temperture Monitoring started in January 2020.
Unlike Singapore - In Scotland it is not going to be possible to take the temperure of every person every day - compliance would be hindered by lack of reliable thermoters and Scotland does not have the reporting mechanisms.
However - Like Singapore it would be possible to have Temperture Monitoring Stations at Supermarkets, Schools, Places of Work, Universities and Retail Premises.
This would be - Voluntary - You should not Have To - have your temperture taken. (In Singapore - Required)
In Singapore - Temperture Monitoring Stations are setup at each place of Work, Schools, Universities, Banks, Shops and so on.
If large establishments ( Example - Universities ) - Each building or Department has its own Temperture Monitoring Station. These are staffed by staff members on a rota.
This could help in identifying current and new cases of infection.
Anyone with a high temperture could be advised to contact the NHS for further advice etc.
This information - could be used to identify any hot spots and also feed into the Tracing and Treatment function of TTIS

Why the contribution is important
If Covid 19 is going to have to be - "Lived With" for some time to come - It is important to be able to identify and contain the virus as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Mass testing is not possible at the moment.
Early identification of possible infections would help in containment.
Temperture Monitoring is simple and cheap - and is a helpful indicator to use in identification and containment.
