With the uncertain world we live in today, we all must take the proper precautions to ensure each other's health and safety. While cities and localities are open, COVID-19 is still a threat that shouldn't be taken lightly. One of the best ways companies can protect their employees is by administering a temperature screening test. This is especially important in industries where a large number of people are working closely together (i.e. construction, manufacturing, and the medical industry).

The goal of the test is to see if any employees are displaying a common symptom of a sickness which is a fever. Temperature screening and applying screening wristbands should be used to identify which employees have passed the test. The test should be given via a non-touch temperature screening. It is important to note this screening process is not full proof but a step towards making the workplace safer. Two different procedures should be followed depending on the result of the test which are as follows:

• If the test results show the individual is displaying symptoms (based on the body surface temperature screening), the person should follow the recommended guidelines set out by the CDC. This includes returning home, contacting your doctor, and maintaining social distancing. Once the employee has been medically cleared, they should be allowed to return to work.
• If the person is displaying no symptoms after the coronavirus temperature screening, they should be issued a Tyvek® wristband and allowed to work as normal. The screening wristbands are essential to employees so they can feel safe in the workplace. Screening wristbands should alternate colors each day to avoid multiple uses of one band. Only employees that received their wristband from the temperature screening should be allowed to enter.
