Screening is one of the infection prevention measures that can help slow the spread of COVID-19. In accordance with recommendations from the Ministry of Health, and effective immediately, the following changes have been made to the Hospital’s COVID-19 entrance screening questions on the Redcap app https://is.gd/tbrhsc_covid and the paper version self-screening tool.

The new symptom related question will now read as follows:

In the past 5 days, have you experienced one of the following: Fever and or Chills, Cough, Shortness of Breath/Difficulty Breathing, Decrease or Loss of taste or smell OR two or more of the following symptoms: Runny Nose/Nasal Congestion, Headache, Extreme Fatigue, Sore Throat, Muscle Aches/Joint Pain, Gastrointestinal Symptoms (ed. Nausea, Vomiting, Diarrhea).

The screening tool is the official and central tracking system for screening results. 

All staff MUST perform self-screening before entering the Hospital. Please read each screening question carefully to ensure safe and accurate admittance and follow any failed screen protocols.

All Hospital COVID-19 updates and resources, including the print version self-screening tool, are available on the iNtranet at https://comms.tbrhsc.net/covid-19-information/.
