temperature cheaking

Post by woody38 »

I am a collection driver for Royal Mail, I have to enter many business, a lot of them will not let there staff in until they have had there temperature checked,with so many people self isolating or having Covid wouldn’t it be so much easier to check peoples temperature before they start work, where I work they have a check in area in reception that is never manned.

Temperature checks aren't a reliable way of detecting if someone might have Covid. Not everyone with Covid will have a fever

But everyone with a fever should be isolating at home.

Half my office would get to work 10 mins early then sit in their car with the heater on full power before entering the building
