What is included in the COVID-19 screening process?

• A. Health questionnaire + temperature check
• B. Temperature check only
• C. Health questionnaire only
• D. No screening

Answer: (A)

The screening process combines a health questionnaire with a temperature check. The health questionnaire asks about current symptoms (like fever, cough, shortness of breath), possible exposure to someone with COVID-19, travel history, and other risk factors. The temperature check adds an objective measurement to identify fever, a common sign of infection. Using both together catches more potential cases than either method alone—some may have symptoms or exposure without a fever, while others may have a fever but not recognize all symptoms. Relying on only one method or having no screening reduces the protection for clients and staff.
