HEALTH SCREENING QUESTIONNAIRE
When you arrive on-campus, all volunteers must be able to pass our Health Screening Questionnaire and temperature check. Please know, that you will be asked three health questions when you arrive on campus. If you answer “yes” to any of the questions, or if you have a temperature of 100.4 or greater, you will be asked to leave campus immediately. The questions are as follows:
• Have you traveled out of the country within the last 14 days?
• Have you had close contact with or cared for someone diagnosed with COVID-19 within the last 14 days?
• Have you experienced any cold or flu-like symptoms in the last 14 days (to include fever, cough, sore throat, respiratory illness, difficulty breathing)?
