COVID-19 Student Daily Symptom Checker Policy

Statement

Rochester EOC (REOC) has implemented student daily symptom checking measures aimed at limiting the transmission of disease, due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus and subsequent pandemic. Decisions are guided by many factors including but not limited to: the epidemiology of the disease, the disease’s response (if any) to anti-viral or other medications, the availability of effective medications, specific at-risk groups, and the proximity of confirmed infection to a particular locale.

The REOC Dean/Executive Director, in consultation with SUNY Brockport and the University Center for Academic and Workforce Development (UCAWD), determined the appropriate initiation and requirement of daily symptom checking and other safety measures to implement. Federal, state, and local governing authorities may provide guidance in making the determination, and those authorities are likely to follow Center for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. In addition, measure regarding social distancing and donning of personal protective equipment (PPE) will be implemented based on the epidemiology of the disease.

Purpose/Scope
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, REOC has adopted this COVID-19 ROCHESTER EOC STUDENT DAILY SYMPTOM CHECKER POLICY. This policy implements measures in order to ensure the health and safety of REOC’s community.

Applicability
All students are affected by this policy.

Requirements

Completion of REOC Student Daily Symptom Checker
If attending on-site class at the REOC building or any on-site REOC-sponsored function* (eg., clinical or internship location), all students are required to:

• • Complete the REOC Student Daily Symptom Checker online at REOC.brockport.edu only on the days the student is scheduled to be on-site*.
  • Complete the REOC Student Daily Symptom Checker within two hours of arriving at the REOC building for class or any REOC-sponsored function (see above*). No student will be allowed to enter the building or attend an REOC-sponsored function unless the REOC Student Daily Symptom Checker has been completed.

Failure to Comply
Failure to comply may result in disciplinary action.

Reporting and Enforcement

In instances where members of our community do not feel safe addressing or educating others about this policy, or if there are repeated violations of this policy, individuals should contact the office of the REOC Dean/Executive Director for assistance.
