RIT Daily Health Screening: Protecting the Community, One Screen at a Time

The RIT Daily Health Screening is an essential tool in keeping the campus community safe and healthy. This quick and easy online questionnaire allows students, faculty, and staff to monitor their health and potential exposure to COVID-19, while also contributing to the overall health of the RIT community.

Why the Daily Health Screening is Important

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose significant health risks, and the RIT Daily Health Screening plays a crucial role in mitigating its spread. By completing the daily screening, individuals can:

• Identify potential symptoms of COVID-19 early: Early detection leads to quicker isolation and prevents further transmission.
• Make informed decisions about their health and activities: Based on their responses to the screening, individuals can decide whether to attend classes, work, or other activities.
• Contribute to the overall health of the campus community: By participating in the screening, individuals help provide valuable data that can be used to track the spread of COVID-19 and make informed decisions about campus protocols.

How the Daily Health Screening Works

The RIT Daily Health Screening is a simple online questionnaire that takes only a few minutes to complete. Individuals are asked to answer questions about their current health, including:

• Whether they are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19
• Whether they have been exposed to someone with confirmed or suspected COVID-19
• Whether they have traveled to any high-risk areas

Based on the individual's responses, the screening will provide instructions on what to do next. This may include:

• Continuing with their planned activities
• Reporting to the RIT Health Center for further evaluation
• Self-isolating and monitoring for symptoms
