Consider Your Exposure Risk:
- Have you had contact with anyone with a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19 in the last two weeks?
- Have you attended any indoor gatherings of 10 or more people?
- While moving through public spaces, have you worn a mask at all times?
- After being in public spaces, have you washed your hands thoroughly?
- To check your temperature accurately, you need to:
- Not drink or eat right before checking your temperature
- Make sure that the thermometer is in place under your tongue, as far back as possible
- Take your temperature twice (this gives the thermometer time to come up to body temperature)
Being aware of symptoms and exposure risks is crucial to preventing the spread of COVID-19. All staff should monitor their temperature (using the method above) and communicated any suspected COVID-19 infection to the Director of Nursing.
