CVG has installed plexiglass guards at all airline ticket counters and gates. New signage reiterates the need for social distancing and good personal hygiene. Queue lanes are wider inside the TSA security checkpoint to make spacing easier.
According to airport CEO Candace McGraw, "One of the things that's being debated right now (is) should there be temperature checks for passengers? I know there's some conversation going on in Washington about TSA doing temperature checks. I don't know how that's going to play out."
McGraw was the speaker at Tuesday's Eggs 'N Issues event sponsored by the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce.
