Walmart has announced new measures to help slow the spread of COVID-19 , including taking employees temperatures as they report to work and offering masks and gloves to any associate who wants to wear them.

Any Walmart employee who has a temperature of 100 degrees or higher will be sent home and asked to seek medical treatment if necessary, the retail giant said Tuesday. Walmart said any such employees would be paid for reporting to work, though it did not offer details.

Infrared thermometers are still being shipped to stores, and the temperature scanning may not go into effect for another three weeks. The masks, which are not N95 respirators , are expected to arrive in one to two weeks, the company said.
