\"\"App requirement and new website add to school’s ability to track COVID-19<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mitchell Hamline School of Law will require all people entering its campus building in St. Paul to self-screen with an app called #CampusClear, starting Monday, February 15.<\/p>\n

The app is a free and easy-to-use tool that asks visitors to answer one question about their health every day they want to come on campus. Based on their answer, they\u2019ll be cleared or not to enter the building while still following masking and other guidelines in place to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Anyone entering the building must do so through the main entrance, which faces Summit Avenue and includes the reception area. Those who don\u2019t have a smartphone or prefer not to download the app can fill out a paper form and give it to security staff at the front desk. See an instructional video on the app here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve answered the symptoms question, the #CampusClear app will display a slide that says whether you’re cleared to enter campus.<\/p><\/div>\n

In addition to the new app requirement, the school is launching a COVID-19 dashboard where users can find updated information about cases on campus as well as the current \u201calert level\u201d (which this week is Level 3, or \u201chigh\u201d). The dashboard includes information about the school\u2019s health protocols, processes to report COVID-19 diagnoses or exposures, and key internal contacts.<\/p>\n

The website, which can be accessed here<\/a>, is also accessible through the red banner at the top of the Mitchell Hamline home page titled \u201cCOVID-19 Dashboard and Information\u201d<\/p>\n

Here is the email Mitchell Hamline\u2019s human resources director, Andrea Bien, sent to the Mitchell Hamline community on Wednesday:<\/p>\n

Dear Colleagues,<\/p>\n

As part of our commitment to provide a safe and healthy environment during this most challenging time, effective February 15, 2021<\/strong>, all employees, students, and visitors must complete a daily COVID-19 symptom screening via the #CampusClear <\/strong>app.\u00a0 Although we continue to offer only limited access to the law school campus at this time, we want to add an extra layer of protection to those people who are working on campus or making use of the library.\u00a0\u00a0Mitchell Hamline has adopted this tool as an additional mitigation strategy to limit the transmission of COVID-19 on campus, in addition to existing health protocols (masks, distancing, hand-washing\/sanitizing).<\/p>\n

Please visit our COVID website<\/a> for additional information.<\/p>\n

What is #CampusClear?<\/h2>\n

#CampusClear<\/strong> is a free self-screening app that is easy to download and takes seconds to complete.\u00a0 For more information, please watch the\u00a0 Campus Clear Instructional video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prior to entering the building, each person will be expected to complete the screening and will receive one of two messages displayed on the phone screen.\u00a0 Employees, students, or visitors that click on the No Symptoms<\/em><\/strong> button will receive a \u201cGood to Go!\u201d response which they will need to show to the front desk staff before proceeding further into the building.<\/p>\n

Employees, students or visitors that click on any COVID-19 symptom button or have tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 14 days will receive a \u201cNot Cleared for Campus Access\u201d response. These individuals will not be permitted to be in the building and are expected leave the building and complete the COVID-19 Reporting form<\/a> after leaving.<\/p>\n
