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


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
