In a new interview with Commercial Appeal, Jerry Lawler revealed that everyone who enters the Performance Center has his or her temperature taken. 

It was not clarified by Lawler if more testing is done besides a temperature check. 

Testing for the coronavirus in the United States has been scarce compared to other countries in the world. A temperature check has been used in doctor's offices to see if further testing needs to be administered.
