Daily Self Checklist

  • Fever or chills (temperature over 100.3F) without having taken any fever reducing medications?
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
  • Fatigue 
  • Muscle or body aches

  • Sore throat
  • Congestion or runny nose
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Diarrhea

2. Have you or anyone you have been in close contact with been diagnosed with COVID-19, or been placed on quarantine for possible contact with COVID-19?

3. Have you been asked to self-isolate or quarantine by a medical professional or a local public health official?

If you answered YES to any of the above questions, STAY HOME, contact your supervisor, and consider getting a COVID-19 test.

We ask that employees use their best judgement when reviewing the questions. We understand that some individuals have chronic conditions, such as migraines or allergy-related coughs, that have symptoms captured on the checklist. If you have such a condition and feel that a YES response on the checklist is related to your chronic condition rather than COVID-19, you may come in but are advised to be surveillance tested regularly.
