The screening must be completed once each day before arriving at McMaster. Anyone receiving a screening notice from students, faculty and staff should save the documentation. The University has worked closely with Public Health to ensure McMaster’s protocols follow the new regulations.

The regulations will apply to the 30 Faculty of Science courses to be delivered on campus during the winter term.

• After completing the screening, email your immediate supervisor informing them if you have passed or not passed the screening for the day. If you have passed, you are then able to enter the workplace.
