Background here

Purpose

We want to assess whether the installation of thermal scanners (and performance of flu tests if fever is detected) in the Finnish airports, harbours and other border controls is a good measure to prevent the illness from spreading.

Boundaries

Our assessment takes place in the moment when swine flu was starting to spread from Mexico, but no cases had been detected in Finland.

Scenarios

1. Swine flu incubation takes 5 days on average(2 to 7 days)
2. Fever is considered to be a temperature over 37,8 C
3. Specificity of the swine flu test:
4. Sensitvity of the swine flu test:

Intended users

All travelers arriving in Finland
