The ability of claims about public safety to be used by government to control or otherwise coerce an individual traveler and intrude Into the life of such seemingly healthy individual should not be unlimited even at borders.
The premise of this thread is what happens if a person refuses a quick health screening. If that persons refuses a simple scan for a fever then I believe government has the authority to hold that person until they are either proven to not be infected or give consent for the scan. I certainly don't think it is too much to ask to submit to a quick, no contact, temperature scan. Perhaps even more invasive testing should be considered seeing as how the current virus appears to be spreading.
