Daily Self-Screening/Reporting Process

Updated: April 22, 2021

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

  1. 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)?
  2. Do you have a measured temperature greater than 100.0°F, or feelings of fever or chills?
  3. 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.

New Process: Don’t come to campus, and utilize the CDC Quarantine and Isolation Calculator to determine what to do next.

To use the Quarantine and Isolation Calculator:

  • Click "Get Started" and answer the questions appearing on your screen.
  • If you make a mistake, you can clear the calculator by clicking "Restart".
  • Depending on your symptoms and/or vaccination status, you may not have to quarantine, isolate, or get tested.
  • If your answers suggest that you get tested for COVID-19, the tool will refer you to the nearest testing-partner location based on your provided zip code.

In all scenarios, it is everyone’s responsibility to communicate with their supervisors or instructors should the situation impact their ability to fulfill work or academic duties As always, for any specific health concerns, students and employees are encouraged to contact their primary care physician or reach out to Student Health or Employee Health Services for guidance or care.
