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, don’t come to campus, and utilize the CDC Quarantine and Isolation Calculator to determine what to do next.
Reporting
Old Process: Don’t come to campus, fill out the Preliminary COVID-19 Screening Form, and wait for further direction from the COVID-19 Response Team.
