Community members living in the Greater Rochester and Finger Lakes Region are encouraged to sign up for ROC COVID, a health screening tool that could help prevent further spread of COVID-19 throughout our area.
Data collected by ROC COVID will also increase understanding of the virus, measure efforts to slow its progression, and help determine where to focus testing or adjust stay-at-home and physical distancing requirements.
Available in English and Spanish at ROCCOVID.org, the online survey tool takes only seconds to complete. It consists of a few questions that residents are encouraged to answer daily, even when they have no symptoms. Questions include whether they have a fever, a cough, chills or other primary coronavirus symptoms, as well as basic demographic information.
Scientists and information technology staff from the University of Rochester Medical Center and Rochester Regional Health developed ROC COVID. Collected data will be securely housed and analyzed by Common Ground Health, a regional health planning organization that serves the Rochester-Finger Lakes region.
