Businesses in the United States are opening up after closures ordered by health and other officials because of the coronavirus crisis. Many employers and employees are thinking about ways to reduce the risks of infection. One common method to find out if people might be sick is the temperature check. It involves measuring a person’s temperature as they enter a building. Will temperature checks make the workplace safer? Checks can reduce the risk of COVID-19 infections. However, the Associated Press recently reported that they should not be the only safety measure that employers take. Looking for fevers will not remove all of the risks. Even without a fever, people with the virus can still be contagious, or able to spread the virus to others. Increased space, cleaning, and hand washing are also important, the AP noted.
