Daily Self-Screening/Reporting Process
Self-Screening
Each day, prior to visiting any UTRGV campus/off-campus facilities, all University students and employees must review the current version of the COVID-19 Daily Self-Screening questions (below) regarding COVID-19 related symptoms.
COVID-19 Daily Self-Screening questions
- Have you been in close contact (within 6 feet of an infected person for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period)?
- Do you have a measured temperature greater than 100.0°F, or feelings of fever or chills?
- Do you have a new or worsening cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, sore throat, muscle pain or body aches, nausea, vomiting, headache, loss of taste or smell, or diarrhea?
If you answer YES to any of the questions listed or have previously tested for COVID-19 and have not been officially released by a member of the UTRGV COVID-19 Response Team, you are NOT ALLOWED to visit campus/off-campus facilities.
Instead, faculty, staff, and students should fill out the Preliminary COVID-19 Screening Form.
Reporting
Instead of accessing campus/off-campus facilities:- Communicate with your instructors/supervisor so arrangements can be made with you to complete your academic requirements/work assignments.
- Fill out the Preliminary COVID-19 Screening Form. You will receive an immediate email response from the COVID-19 Response Team.
- Based on the results, you will be contacted to determine the appropriate plan of action and told to either quarantine, isolate, get tested, or return to work.
- Students or employees may not return to UTRGV premises until they are released by a member of the COVID-19 Response Team.
- The COVID-19 Response Team is responsible for identifying and contacting others who may have been at risk.
If you develop symptoms or start to feel unwell while on campus, follow the same process:
- Leave campus/work immediately.
- Communicate with your instructor/supervisor so arrangements can be made with you to complete your academic requirements/work assignments.
- Fill out the Preliminary COVID-19 Self-Screening Form.
- Wait for instructions from the COVID-19 Response Team.
