PATHOGEN DETECTION APPARATUS AND PATHOGEN DETECTION METHOD

摘要

A pathogen detection apparatus includes an obtainer that obtains a body temperature of a subject; a collector that collects a pathogen carried by the subject or a pathogen in air around the subject; a detector that performs detection of the pathogen collected by the collector; a reporter that reports a detection result obtained by the detector; and a controller. In a case where the body temperature of the subject obtained by the obtainer is higher than a predetermined threshold value, the controller controls at least one of the collector or the detector to shorten a time period from start of collection by the collector to report of the detection result by the reporter.
