The study aims to see if participant deterioration due to suspected coronavirus in a designated location (e.g. hotel) can be identified sooner by wearing the sensor. If sick patients can be identified early, participants are more likely to have better outcomes; the study believes that the sensor can help us do this. The sensor measures heart rate, respiratory rate and temperature every 2 minutes and this can be reviewed by the clinical team looking after the participants.
