COVID-19 Daily Self-Screening Checklist
UW Stout is implementing a self-screening process to support the early identification of illness and help protect the health and safety of our community. All employees and students should complete the COVID-19 Daily Self-Checklist before reporting to campus. Employees and students who are taking classes or working remotely from home or at a non-UW Stout location do not need to complete this screening, although it is encouraged as a best practice.
Based on guidance from the CDC, employees should consider these questions each day before coming to campus.
Do you have any of the following symptoms, even if very mild?
- Fever or feeling feverish
- Muscle aches/Body aches
- Nausea, Vomiting or Diarrhea
- Chills
- Shortness of breath/ difficulty breathing
- Loss of taste or smell
- Other respiratory symptoms
- Cough
- Sore Throat
- Headache
- Fatigue
*Evaluate these symptoms compared with how they are different or similar to your baseline health, i.e. worse than normal, allergies, etc.
Exposure Screening
