Having temperature checks at public sites; such as grocery stores and other essential services, will help flatten the curve in British Columbia. Employees checking the temperature of customers will look for fever temperatures ( 100°F or 37.7°C) while complying with the importance of social distance. This will be possible through the use of hand-held thermometer guns suitable for humans.

Although there's a portion of infected patients who will be asymptomatic, I believe that this initiative would benefit many British Columbians and help flatten the curve. With many people going to public sites for essential purposes, there's a high probability of a community outbreak. However, if employees constantly monitor the health of incoming customers, they would be able to detect possible infected individuals before they unknowingly spread it to others.

Let's unite together and spread awareness! Remember to respect the orders of our Health Officials and keep everyone safe.
