The check-in process at one regional airport now includes a temperature check and health questionnaire. 

Eastern Iowa Airport is moving forward with a plan to use some of the $22.8 million it received under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act to form a COVID-19 screening checkpoint for departing passengers.
