Preserving the health and wellness of our employees is the GRCA's priority. To prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to reduce the potential risk to our workforce, we are conducting a simple screening questionnaire that we are asking you to complete at the beginning of each work day, and submit to your GRCA contact person in advance of starting work. If at any time there are changes in your health and/or situation please notify your GRCA contact person right away.
This checklist is meant to keep you and your colleagues healthy. It is only a basic checklist and not meant to take the place of medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. When completing this checklist, please only take into account new or worsening symptoms. Do not take into account symptoms related to chronic conditions (i.e. seasonal allergies), or those that can be related to other known conditions that you may have.
