摘　　要：COVID-19 is a newly emerging disease[1], which has already imported to many countries throughout the world. At present, active screening by thermo-scanning on immigrants from high-risk countries for COVID-19 at international border post is generally done by each country as a basic measurement for prevention of the disease. However, due to the possibility of afebrile presentation in COVID-19 cases[2], there is a chance of false-negative of screening. Here, the authors would like to share the observation from Thailand where COVID-19 has become a concerning public health problem. The aim is to determine the chance of false-negative from thermo-scanning for COVID-19 at international border post.
