If you're tracking body temperatures, that's considered biological monitoring and triggers medical record regulations under OSHA. That means the records must be kept confidential and retained for the duration of the employee's employment, plus an additional 30 years. This article from Fox Rothschild should be really useful: Helpful Guidance from CDC/OSHA on Screening Workers for COVID-19 Symptoms.
