Bike Commuting and covid19 temperature screening

Hey all,

Pursuant to state (or maybe it's county) regulations, my work has instituted mandatory external temperature screening for all employees showing up at work. Most days I can telecommute, but sometimes I have to be physically present, and I'll ride my bike like I normally do.

It seems to me that a cyclist's external skin temperature may be either artificially low due to cool morning breeze, or artificially high due to exertion. Given how lazy a cyclist I am, I think I tend towards the former.

Anybody else have experience with forehead temperature checks? Show up at work exhibiting a spuriously high temperature? Sent home or just made to cool off for a few minutes?
