The app is intended for anyone in the general public, citizens of Sonoma County determine if they may have symptoms related to COVID-19 before going to work. It is not intended to give medical advice. If you need medical advice, please contact your primary care physician or visit the CDC website at: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/ There are two parts to the app: Resident Survey Answer a few questions about symptoms and contact you’ve had with those who might have the disease. And then get specific recommendations based on the Sonoma County Public Health guidelines, such as to practice social distancing, talk to a doctor, or return to work.

I sometimes go to multiple sites on campus and having to answer health questions at each location as opposed to showing my wellness check is a no brainer. ### 4/5 — Makes My Live Easier! *2020-08-06* Every day I head into work I take the survey and get a badge that shows I’ve been assessed and I’m clear to work. When I walk in the office I show the badge with the date and time I completed the survey, they take a quick digital temp, and I head for my desk. People who don’t use the App take a lot longer to get cleared each day. This makes my life much easier and I see the relief on the faces of my co-workers who have to perform the assessments when I’ve already done this in advance. We are in this for the long run, and this App saves me time and hassle. Well done! ### 4/5 — Employer Section is Missing from the App *2020-06-10* According to the instructions for the app posted on SoCo’s website, there should be an employer section on the app where the employer reports the results of wellness checks conducted. This functionality does not currently exist—at least not in the Apple version. Managers with Android phones may have better luck. The app is otherwise easy to use. **Developer response:** The employer side of the app has now been added. Thank you for your patience. ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-06-08* So far my list of issues I see with this app: - Main page show one outdated health order from April. - Main page has video with a bad link to YouTube. - Map shown on main page shows outdated data and no link to anything more useful. - Link to Full Dashboard is a web link to Safari. I get more data outside the app than inside it. - No tracker feedback capability? There are better apps out there that actually DO something. ### 1/5 — Employer Portion...? *2020-06-05* According to the .pdf there should be an option to verify employees. I can’t find that! I have deleted the app and reinstalled. How do we use this as employers? Anyone? **Developer response:** The employer side of the app has now been added. Thank you for your patience. ### 1/5 — Government overreach *2020-06-05* A unelected official mandates this for businesses with no official vote from elected public officials. This is a massive overreach of government authority especially in a county that has very very few cases and even fewer deaths attributed to CoVid. ### 1/5 — Redundant *2020-06-02* This app is a waste of time. Now I have to wake up every morning to fill this app along with other apps from my employer before work. ### 1/5 — This doesn’t help *2020-06-01* People will self-report their condition based on whether or not they wish to work that day. Any data derived from this app is unreliable. ### 4/5 — It’s a start *2020-05-30* This is a useful first step; collect data from more people across the county. I was surprised that the only way employers are made aware of the “test” was receiving a screen shot from employees, and that no further action was required, but maybe that will be added later. Collecting data for now is fine by me. The app worked perfectly for me. Update: the app works but I don’t see “the employer portion of the app”. Do we simply collect screen shots and report them using the county’s online form? Pretty clunky. **Developer response:** The employer side of the app has now been added. Thank you for your patience. ### 1/5 — No SHARE button to share results? *2020-05-29* There is no way to “share this screen with your employer” on an iPhone. What’s the point of the app if you can’t share the data? **Developer response:** The idea behind our design was that as the employer is taking each employee’s temperature, the employee could show them the certification page, in person, at that time. ## Frequently asked questions about SoCo COVID ### What does the SoCo COVID-19 Check app do?
