NEW YORK - Bob Grewal recently began testing a new health-screening setup for workers at a Subway restaurant he owns in Los Angeles near the University of Southern California.
Some employers are requiring workers to fill out virus-screening questionnaires or asking them to try out social-distancing wristbands that vibrate if they get too close to each other. "I think employers need to look carefully before they jump into any of this," said Michael T. Osterholm, director of the Centre for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.Over the past month, companies have started marketing a slew of employee-tracking tools to combat the virus.
Clear, a security company that uses biometric technology to verify people's identities at airports and elsewhere, plans this week to start marketing a health-screening service that can be used to vet and clear employees to enter workplaces. The service will take employees' temperatures with a thermal camera, as well as verify the results of their medical tests for the virus, sharing the results with employers as colour-coded scores like green or red.
