COVID-19 Screening: In Person and Face-to-Face Activities

Notice
Tennessen Notice: Prior to entering the office and beginning, “In-Person, Face-to-Face Activities,” all individuals will be asked a series of questions. This data is classified as private under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act. We will use this data to screen individuals seeking access to MSED facilities for potential health risks to try to avoid the potential of spreading contagious diseases. The data helps us to determine whether risk factors are present and whether you will be denied access to the facility for the protection of our staff and/or the public. This is not a COVID-19 test and is not a determination of whether or not an individual is infected with or has been exposed to COVID-19. This data will be gathered and reviewed by designated staff, including non-medical personnel, in deciding whether you should be at the office or work from home. You are not legally required to provide this data and providing the data is voluntary. However, if you refuse to provide the data, you will not be permitted to work at any MSED facilities. The data collected from you may be shared with MSED staff collecting the data, District Office personnel, state and federal enforcement agencies, and any other persons or entities authorized by law.

Screening helps slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community while enabling a safe workplace. All individuals participating in, “In-Person, Face-to-Face Activities,” where social distancing measures are difficult to implement/sustain are required to complete “On-Site/Day-Of” screening.
