A recent industry group discussion noted that entrance temperature screening (for covid ) was being discontinued by several companies because: (i) they had not rejected entrance anyone due to high temperatures (ii) some positive non-symptomatic people have passed the temperature screen, and (iii) there is literature which questions its effectiveness.  Wondering if anyone on the listserv has any data or literature regarding the efficacy and pros and cons of temperature screening for companies or academic institutions?
