Hindmarsh Shire Council has secured thermometers from the State Government to test visitors’ temperature in efforts to ensure the municipality’s businesses, staff and community stay COVID-19 free.
Visitors to caravan parks, tourist attractions and council buildings will need to test their body temperature before entering sites.
Hindmarsh Shire has yet to have a confirmed case of COVID-19 since the pandemic started earlier this year.
One of the virus symptoms is a fever and testing people’s temperature has become a recognised first-line-of-defence way of identifying people who might have the disease.
