MINNETONKA, Minn. - As states across the country begin reopening, UnitedHealth Group and Microsoft are offering an app to help employers screen workers for COVID-19 upon returning to work.
The ProtectWell app provides workers a series of questions to screen for COVID-19 infection or exposure, including asking for the employee’s temperature and if they are experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough or shortness of breath.
The app will either clear them for work or direct them into a testing process that will notify both them and the employer of the results, according to a statement.
