    Temperature screening

    Trial run using the thermal imager ...reading from 33C - 40 C... those kind of temperatures ...there should be dead people (thank goodness it was just a test run).

    It seems many companies have gone out and "invested" in a spot meter to screen staff and/or visitors.

    A few tips:

    Human body core temperature should be around 36.1-37.1 C.

    About 3 C can be added to the surface skin measurement to get an average core temperature.

    Measuring the centre of the forehead ("surface skin temperature" ...not core temperature) reading should be around 33 C - 33.5 C.

    Measuring the e tear duct or inner ear should read around 35 - 36 degrees C

    37.3 C "core temp" (not the same as surface temperature) is regarded as a low level grade fever and the person should stay home...this measurement should be done using the correct procedure.
