As a new health and safety measure in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Walmart will begin to use infrared thermometers to check the temperatures of its employees before they report to work, the company said in a press release.
Employees who have a temperature above 100.0 degrees will still be paid for reporting to work, Walmart said, but asked to return home and seek medical treatment if so required.“The associate will not be able to return to work until they are fever-free for at least three days,” the company said in the release.RELATED: CoronavirusNOW.com, FOX launches national hub for COVID-19 news and updates Acc
