Daily use of PennOpen Pass — a symptom tracker designed to help streamline COVID-19 screening at our workplaces — is now mandatory at Penn Medicine Princeton Health for employees, medical staff members, volunteers, contractors, vendors and students who work on-site.
PennOpen Pass users fill out a daily survey online. Anyone who reports certain symptoms or potential exposure will receive a Red Pass and direction for follow-up. Those who report no symptoms or potential exposure to someone with COVID-19 will receive a Green Pass. The system will text or email the Green Pass to your mobile phone. If you don’t have a mobile phone, you may print the Green Pass on a home computer and printer.
Upon arriving at work, find the express lane. Display the Green Pass on your mobile phone, or your printed copy from home, and you will be allowed to enter. Anyone who has not completed the symptom tracker must wait in a second line for verbal screening and will receive a paper Green Pass if you report no symptoms or exposure to COVID-19. Please carry the pass with you for entry and re-entry to your workplace.

KEY MESSAGES:
Complete the symptom tracker every day. You should take the survey BEFORE leaving home. It is mandatory for anyone who works on-site, but those who work remotely should also use PennOpen Pass.
Every day means every day. Even on days off, or days working off-site, you should complete the symptom tracker. Daily participation enables PennOpen Pass to serve as an early warning system to identify potential COVID-19 infections and prevent an outbreak.
Be honest. If you are experiencing any symptom on the PennOpen Pass survey, disclose it and follow up as directed.
Stay home if you are sick. Even if you received a Green Pass, you should stay home if you feel ill with cold, flu, or other symptoms not included on the daily tracker. Coming to work when you are sick puts you, your co-workers, and our patients at risk.
