To prevent the spread of illness and to reduce the potential risk of exposure to our campus community during the COVID-19 pandemic, Salem Academy and College has developed this health screening checklist to determine when it is safe for campus members and guests to enter campus.

Individuals reporting to campus are required to monitor their own health on a daily basis consistent with this checklist before entering campus or reporting to work.  Individuals must not enter campus or report to work if they answer “yes” to any of the following questions.

COVID-19 SYMPTOMS AND EXPOSURE

  1. In the past 14 days, have you felt sick or feverish?

    • Fever (equal to or greater than 100.1 degrees Fahrenheit) or chills
    • Cough
    • Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
    • Sore throat
    • Headache
    • Muscle or body aches
    • Fatigue
    • Nausea or vomiting
    • Diarrhea
    • New loss of taste or smell
    • Nasal congestion or runny nose (not related to allergies)
       

  3. Have you had “close contact” (defined as within 6 feet for at least 15 minutes) in the last 14 days with someone that has a suspected or lab confirmed case of COVID-19?

  4. Have you been directed by a health department or health care provider to quarantine?

  5. Since you were last on campus, have you been diagnosed with COVID-19?
