Southwest Tech To Begin Temperature Screenings

Southwest Tech in Fennimore will begin temperature screenings for all students, faculty, staff and visitors beginning Monday. The screenings are a part of the school’s Return to Campus plan, and will be conducted in all campus facilities, including outreach centers. The screenings are intended to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. A release says that employees and security will use an infrared thermometer, and anyone with a temperature higher than 100.4 degrees will be asked to return home. Individuals with high temperatures will then follow a plan to notify campus officials. The school also requires face masks and social-distancing practices.
