The White House has ended mandatory temperature checks and screenings for coronavirus symptoms for most visitors and staffers, removing procedures that have been in place since March.
NBC News reported that tents used to check temperatures were being taken down on Monday.
White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement that: "In conjunction with Washington, D.C., entering Phase Two today, the White House is scaling back complex-wide temperature checks," Deere said.
He said that any staffer or guest "in close proximity to the president and vice president is still being temperature-checked, asked symptom histories and tested for COVID-19," The New York Times reported.

(7,947 posts)I don't wish illness on anyone, but this is a craven and desperate attempt to shore up Trump's tattered but still huge ego. He said he hates testing, so they all run and have to hate testing too.
That Judd Deere seems to think it's great that everyone in the White House EXCEPT the president and VP are going to be put at risk to support Trump's idiocy.
And this is a few days after 8 staffers tested positive in one day.
