1. A facility access system comprising:
a. a user interface adapted to receive at least one user health-related input corresponding to a pre-entry questionnaire;
b. an access controller having a network enabled communication and in communication with said user interface, wherein said access controller receives said at least one user health-related input and evaluates said input based on predetermined screening criteria to generate either a pre-access boarding pass or a facility access denial, and references predetermined biometric skin temperature acceptance range; and
c. a biometric device in communication with said access controller, wherein said biometric device obtains at least one biometric skin temperature input from a user and transmits said input to said access controller, and
wherein said access controller compares said biometric skin temperature input to said acceptable range to allow facility access only upon determining that both said user has been issued a pre-access boarding pass and said biometric skin temperature input falls within said acceptance range, or said access controller issues a facility access denial in response to either a failure to satisfy said questionnaire criteria or said biometric skin temperature input is outside said acceptance range.
