The Transportation Security Administration might add a new step to its pre-boarding screening procedures.
According to Gizmodo TSA agents might begin to check temperatures in U.S. airports.
The new measure could be rolled out at about a dozen airports next week if it is approved.
By checking temperatures they may be able to prevent people with COVID-19 to board a plane.
The White House and the Department of Homeland Security also advocated for thermal scanning to bolster consumer confidence in the safety of air travel.
