Temperature checks can be misleading

Some businesses are checking temperatures as their employees return to work. But medical experts say that could do more harm than good.

KTRH medical expert Dr. Joe Galati says many who carry the virus don't have a fever.

Dr. Galati says what we need is a simple Coronavirus test, available for everyone.
