Walmart to deploy temperature checks, masks and gloves to all employees nationwide

As the coronavirus continues to shut down businesses across the U.S., Walmart has made the decision to keep its stores open. However, the nation's largest private employer is now taking additional steps to prevent its nearly 1.5 million employees from getting sick — and telling them to stay home if they are.

Walmart announced Tuesday updated health and safety guidelines for all associates. From now on, the temperature of every employee will be taken as they report to work in stores, clubs and facilities, the company said.

Walmart is now in the process of sending infrared thermometers to all locations, which could take as long as three weeks. As employees' temperatures are taken, they will also be asked some basic health screening questions.

Wow! Eci staff do not have access to masks..when representatives in Annapolis were contacted we were told that DPSCS is doing “all it can”. It’s not a matter of if, but when staff members are infected on the job and bring it home and into their community.
