Guidance on Temperature Screening

What is recommended by Occupational Health?

(View the complete Occupational Health guidance document)

Instruct employees to actively self-monitor for symptoms or fever and assess their symptoms before coming into work each day (see CDC symptom check below). UCB has now started a campus-wide symptom checker for workers who are on campus.
Instruct employees to stay home if they have any symptoms or fever and contact their primary health care provider.
Instruct employees to increase handwashing and hand hygiene practices, and provide hand sanitizer as appropriate.
Provide for social distancing of at least 6 ft within the workplace, whenever possible.
Continue to follow public health guidelines for face coverings. Currently, you must wear facemasks or cloth face coverings while at work, unless you are in your private office (mandated per UCOP and the City of Berkeley).
Increase cleaning of highly used surfaces within the workplace
