Starting Monday, August 10, those on the medical center campus will be greeted at building entrances by public health screeners. The screeners will ensure that individuals entering the building are wearing a face covering, ask to see your badge in the One Medical mobile application if you are approved to work on campus, and take the temperature of visitors and research subjects. Individuals who are collecting items from their offices will be allowed to enter buildings if they explain the purpose of their visit, show their GOCard and wear a face covering. Learn more here.

After that time, access to campus will be limited to those approved for on-campus work. As a reminder, anyone coming to campus must wear a face covering and practice physical distancing.
