BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Adventist Health Bakersfield announced Monday that as of Noon, it will begin screening all employees, physicians and visitors for the flu on a daily basis.

Anyone with a fever of 100.3 or higher will be asked not to visit or work that day.

Screenings will take place in front of the main hospital as well as the employee/physician entrance,
