Dr. Orange County’s Department of Health official Raul Pino has stated no temperature controls are required, WFTV’s Lauren Seabrook reports.

TEMPERATURE CHECKS: @DohOrange The health officer Dr. Raul Pino says temperature checks are NOT necessary. When you see too many places you are wasting resources on something that doesn’t make a difference. The DOH does not recommend it. @ WFTV

The Department of Health doesn’t recommend temperature checks as they waste resources on something that doesn’t necessarily prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Last year, temperature checks were required to enter Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort, and many other businesses in the county. Someone who carries COVID-19 doesn’t always have a fever, however, and those diagnosed with a fever don’t always have COVID-19 (they may just be hot from the Florida sun).

In this week, Orange County announced how it would phase out physical distancing and mask mandates. It started with an immediate change from six feet to three feet of physical distance and further changes will depend on vaccination rates.

Both Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort still require temperature tests and a physical distance of two meters. Check regularly WDWNT for updates.
