LAS CRUCES, New Mexico Visitors to public schools are familiar with routine procedures like signing in and getting a visitor’s badge. These days, the rare visitor or staff member allowed at Hermosa Heights Elementary School has a few additional steps to follow.
At the school’s main entrance is a kiosk with a video screen that takes a person’s temperature without physical contact and scans their face to make sure they are wearing a mask.
Staff members can record their temperature on a mobile phone app and answer daily wellness questions, including a checklist of symptoms associated with Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Other visitors complete their wellness check on a paper form.
