      Introduction: Among millions of people who may be infected with COVID-19, patients with cardiovascular and oncologic diseases exhibit the highest risks of having worse outcomes. These patients are subject to chronic disease decompensation and may be subjected to cross-infection while visiting health facilities that are taking care of COVID-19 infected patients. Objective: To present scientific evidence and propose the use of infrared thermography for the reduction of viral cross-infection in healthcare facilities. Methods: Theoretical essay Results: Previous experience in pandemic show favorable results with the use of infrared thermography identifying infected patients and reducing the possibility of cross infections. Conclusion: Infrared thermography is a radiation-free, relatively inexpensive, noncontact, and noninvasive technology that could be used for mass-screening of patients and visitors with fever, especially in services where patients with cardiovascular disease seek for medical care, reducing the risk of cross-infection. ; Introducción: Entre millones de personas que pueden estar infectadas con COVID-19, los pacientes con enfermedad cardiovascular y oncologica exhiben los mayores riesgos de tener peores resultados. Estos pacientes están sujetos a descompensación de enfermedades crónicas y pueden estar sujetos a infección cruzada mientras visitan los centros de salud que atienden a pacientes infectados con COVID-19. Objetivo: Presentar evidencia científica y proponer el uso de la termografía infrarroja para la reducción de infecciones virales cruzadas en instalaciones de salud. Métodos: Ensaio teórico Resultados: La experiencia previa en pandemia muestra resultados favorables con el uso de termografía infrarroja que identifica a pacientes infectados y reduce la posibilidad de infecciones cruzadas. Conclusión: La termografía infrarroja es una tecnología libre de radiación, relativamente barata, sin contacto y no invasiva que podría usarse para el cribado masivo de pacientes y visitantes con fiebre, ...
