COVID-19 Body Temperature Log: Best free template for logging temperature values of employees

85 / 100

In these trying times of COVID-19 Pandemic, employers are making efforts to ensure that sick employees do not come to work. The WHO identifies FEVER as one of the symptoms, which is temperature measured at 100.4 F or 38 C or greater. Checking temperature is permissible but not determinative of COVID-19, since fever can be associated with other sickness, although, it provides a good ground for sending sick workers home. This template is the result of my desire to support the fight against COVID-19.
