Reviewing Daily Symptom Survey Results

University officials may request to see your Daily Symptom Survey (DSS) results email to verify that you are compliant with campus policy and permitted to access university facilities and programs.

 

Symptom Survey results are private.
Requesting Symptom Survey results without a business need to do so, may infringe on the privacy of others. Email privacy@ucdavis.edu if you have concerns.


Officials who may ask to see an employee’s Daily Symptom Survey (DSS) results email, include:
  • Their supervisor and manager
  • Event staff and employees assigned to control facility entry points

It is not appropriate to ask to see DSS results:
  • Between colleagues at a meeting.
  • When you see someone walking down the hall or standing in a public, interior space (e.g., elevator, water fountain).
  • Because you think it will tell you the person’s vaccination status.
Employees and students are not generally permitted to ask to see another’s DSS results.
