Discovery COVID-19 Business Support

EARLY IDENTIFICATION THROUGH APP-BASED PRE-SCREENING

COVID-19 occupational health and safety measures include a requirement for every employer to screen any employee at the time they report for work, to ascertain whether they have any of the observable symptoms associated with COVID-19.

Discovery Health has developed the COVID-19 Risk Assessment, which enables employees to easily calculate their risk of having contracted COVID-19 through a set of clinical questions which can be completed on-site or at home. In addition to the self-reported Risk Assessment, verified temperature data can be added to improve the accuracy of the risk assessment.

• Employers are recommended to use the COVID-19 Risk Assessment, together with temperature screening at all access points of their premises.
• An employee’s screening status will be calculated and recorded each time the Risk Assessment is completed, allowing for daily assessments of employee’s risk of having contracted COVID-19.
• All screening results will be stored centrally by Discovery Health. High risk results will unlock the subsequent triage processes available to the member and the employer including virtual consultations, case management and contact tracing for potentially exposed employees.
