West Campus Employees Go ‘CampusClear’
The CampusClear App is now making daily self-screening easier and more convenient for employees on West Campus. See who it’s for, how to sign up and more here.
Please keep in mind that SBUH staff will still need to take their temperature at the hospital before starting their shift and complete the attestation when they arrive at their unit. Employees who work on both East and West Campus are asked to follow West Campus guidelines and use CampusClear for their daily attestation. And, paper self-screening is still available for those without access to a computer or cell phone.
New FAQs on Screening and Testing
‘Screening and Testing’ just got their own section on the FAQ page of our Coming Back Safe and Strong website. Have a question about the CampusClear app, Coronavirus tests for employees, what to do if someone on your staff is sick? Check out this continuously updated site.
We’re Recognized for ‘Doing It Right’
“Right here in New York, right here on Long Island, you’re seeing a perfect example of how it’s done right.” That’s SUNY Chancellor Jim Malatras talking about Stony Brook University at a recent press conference on West Campus.
“This is an extraordinary place. Really a global center of innovation and, in so many ways, the heart of our county.” That’s Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone speaking at the same event.
