the healthy person hospital

I had to be in the hospital today for a short visit. When walking in, as is done everywhere, the guard scanned my forehead with a thermometer gun to see if I had a temperature.

Thank God I did not have a temperature, and I am healthy.

But I was wondering - if I had a temperature, chas vshalom, would they not let me in? Is a hospital not for sick people? Where would the hospital send me if I had had a temperature? Are only healthy people allowed into hospitals nowadays?

Just wondering.
