Conclusion: There is a need to accurately monitor people in public areas using 5G+ thermal imaging temperature monitoring system consisting of Infrared Radiation (IR) camera, body temperature measuring unit and 5G network module. It can accurately monitor a moving object's temperatures in real-time without contact and issue abnormal temperature alerts. Through 5G networks, the data collected by terminals can be sent to central monitoring units and shared to the Cloud in real time with no lag. This enables 24x7 online public temperature monitoring, imaging and travel and contact history tracking, when needed. Once an individual is identified as a suspected or confirmed infection, treatment becomes a race against time. In China, SMART ambulances were built to carry emergency care communica- tion and diagnostics kits, serving a unique role in the healthcare system. Apart from transporting patients safely, they provide emergency treatment remotely, as well as collecting and transmitting information to hospitals so they can develop treatment and quarantine plans. This is impor- tant especially when the hospitals are located far away. Benefiting from 5G networks' fast data load speeds of over 100Mbps, SMART ambulances with 4K HD monitoring systems can send videos and transmit medical data to command centres in real time, allowing support staff to communicate with ambulance crews. If necessary, a command centre can initiate diagnosis conferences with experts and ambulance crews for emergency response, ensuring a patient's smooth transition from the ambulance to hospital. This combination of 5G network and 4K SMART ambulances trans- forms the medical emergency response model: it digitalizes its operation, from mobilizing treatment to data collection and real time communication, improv- ing treatment efficiency and effectiveness. Big data is at the core of SMART medical care, covering stages such as consultation, diagnosis and treatment. While treating patients, hospitals need to stay closely connected with one another and maintain effective communication. Case studies and medical data should also be consolidated and shared promptly, providing valuable reference for other hospitals and scientific research institutions. requirements at various levels for different kind of people visiting a hospital or centre. Such a monitoring can be done at various places outside of hospitals such as trains, shopping malls, offices, etc. On the basis of the result, a suspected person can be immediately isolated and transported to hospital in safe manner, as soon as the body temperature is observed to be higher than normal. The flow is shown in diagram-4. An HD thermal camera and real-time movement tracking system can improve screening accuracy and efficiency. Once a suspected case is identified, it is critical to perform accurate testing quickly, as an individual will need to be relocated and immediately treated if an infection is con- firmed. Front-line medical care operations always face the challenge of limited resources and an increasing number of patients. Remote medicine consultations can address these constraints as it enables medical experts, to get real-time data, perform livestreamed HD diagnosis, development treatment plans and share their experience of cases with fellow professionals – without having to be in close proximity to patients. To do this, and maximize utilization of available medical resources, a supporting network needs to be Diagram-4: Epidemic control scenarios
