Amazon is reportedly starting to check some warehouse employees for COVID-19 symptoms when they come into work

"Beginning this week we're introducing a symptom screen at our entrances in accordance with guidance from local authorities," Amazon told workers in at least Michigan and Virginia, according to CNBC. "Moving forward, when you arrive for your shift you will read signs listing potential Covid-19 symptoms as you enter the building."

Employees who don't report symptoms during the screening will complete a temperature check and clock-in for their shift, while those who do could be sent home and instructed to get a COVID-19 test, CNBC reported. It's unclear how widely the new screening process is being rolled out or whether employees will be paid for additional time spent waiting . program, but would only say at the time that it has "started our first small-scale pilot."

The company has been forced to drastically ramp up health and safety measures in its warehouses, where employees have been working throughout the pandemic. However, workers are continuing to speak out about working conditions and have accused Amazon of not taking sufficient precautions to reduce their risk of exposure to the virus.
