[Michlib-l] MI Symptoms--free entry screening for employers

[Rebecca Higgerson]

Hi everyone,

I’m forwarding this information on to all of you in the event that you may
have missed this wonderful, free program that provides entry screening for
employers.  We have been using it at Brandon Library since we returned to
work and we are thrilled with the results.  We do not have to ask staff the
required COVID-19 questions at the back door, because they do it from their
phones or from home before they come into the library.  I then get daily
email reports that I can print out for the required record-keeping.  I am
not aware of any colleagues who might be using the system, so I asked the
MI Symptoms team if I could send this out because I’m a huge advocate for
anything that is free, saves time, easy to use, and will automatically
change when the requirements change.  If you have any questions, feel free
to reach out to them at the email below.



Thanks,

Rebecca
