[MCOH-EH] Daily Symptom Checks

[Galaid Edward I]

Regarding the question about taking temps.  We are using subjective fever/chills.  Logistically, difficult to get a temp if the employee outside the workplace if he/she didn't have a thermometer of her own.   Curiously, of the small number of COVID-19 infections we have had in our employees,  very few had documented Tmax greater than 100.

Here is our flow chart.   We started a pilot with it this AM.   A colleague of mine found it on line...I think it is from a California government agency.   We made it our own.
It's almost painfully simple.  May do a bit more wordsmithing.   But that's ok.  It may be throwing a very wide net...we'll see.  That's why we're doing a pilot.     Comments/suggestions welcomed, BTW.
