Testing and Screening

Can we get an electronic thermometer and check students’ temperature prior to entering the room?

No, faculty and students will be asked to use the Hoos Health Check app/website.  It will be inappropriate for any faculty member to require or request that students check their temperature with a thermometer before entering a classroom.

Will UVA be testing wastewater from dormitories?

Yes.

Will we be able to check the Hoos Health Check app as students come into the lab make sure they have self-attested to having no symptoms?

We do not recommend requiring students to show their app before entering the lab.  This will be considered a privacy violation.  However, reminding students to complete their daily attestation via the Hoos Health check app prior to entering the lab is appropriate.
