COVID temperature checks may not be reliable; could do more harm than good

There are many other illnesses where fever is the most common symptom including when you have flu. Thus, temperature check becomes even ineffective with the onset of the monsoon season.

It also might give people a false sense of security and some who might know they have the infection and fever too might take a fever-reducing medicine before passing through any screening. Thus, temperature checks are not a reliable filter for keeping the infected COVID patients out of crowded places.
