What are the human and economic costs of…

An undisclosed number of COVID-19 related deaths?
An entire plant shutdown for two weeks?
Widespread absenteeism and loss of employee morale?

The FIRST step should be at the main doors or gates to your workplace through which employee walk out going to their homes, grocery store, meeting friends, going to the gym, going about their personal lives as they should and must, but all that time they are potentially being infected by COVID-19. When they come back through your main doors or gates, what are the potential steps you can take to try to prevent COVID-19 from walking in with them? Is it Health screenings, surveys and temperature? this checks may help you to identify some symptomatic people but these tools are useless against asymptomatic infected people which can account for up to 25-50% of the COVID-positive population.
