Temperature surveillance system for prevention of COVID-19 in Schools

The COVID-19 has brought into sharp relief the need for rapid interdisciplinary and intersectoral collaboration to respond to emergency situations. In Mexico, the Education system has been strongly damaged by the COVID-19 pandemic, due to the loss of classroom classes and the lack of technological tools that helps in the online education. Now, with the plans to reactivate the activities in different sectors, Schools are potential places to spread the disease. So, Schools should follow the adequate guidelines and implement innovative solutions that helps to mitigate the infection between students. In order to help to the Education sector, we are proposing a system that allows to surveillance the students' temperature and to apply a questionnaire that will work to identify possible/confirmed cases of COVID-19 in schools. Moreover, the system allows the visualisation of relevant students' information through a scholar platform and a central platform, helping the Schools' Directors and the public health sector to take well informed decisions.
