MSRS Guest Health Screening

Tennessen Notice

The following Tennessen Notice describes the purpose and intended use of the data that will be collected in the health screening process:

Prior to entering the workplace, all individuals will be asked a series of questions. Depending on the answers to these questions, some individuals may be asked additional screening questions by a supervisor or HR. This data is classified as private under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act.

We will use this data to screen individuals before they enter the workplace for potential COVID-19 related health risks to try to avoid the potential of spreading COVID-19. The data helps us to determine whether risk factors are present and whether you will be denied admission to the workplace for the protection of agency 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 agency staff, including non-medical personnel, to determine whether to permit you to enter the workplace. You are not legally required to provide this data. However, if you refuse to provide the data, you will not be admitted to the workplace. A refusal to provide the data may also result in employment consequences, as determined by the agency and as set forth in the agency’s Health Screening Policy. The data collected from you may be shared with agency staff collecting the data, agency HR staff, the agency safety administrator, agency supervisors and managers, and other persons or entities authorized by law.
