This policy supports staff with taking an Individual’s body temperature. It gives guidance on what is a normal and abnormal temperature, and highlights the procedure to follow if a fever is suspected. A form is available for staff to record results of the procedure. The policy now includes reference to thermal temperature recording devices and that they should not be used to diagnose COVID-19.
