DawgCheck: COVID-19 self-screening tool

Immediate self-reporting is critical to helping UGA assess and respond to risks and exposures on campus. UGA has created DawgCheck: an easy-to-use, COVID-19 self-screening tool.

With DawgCheck, you can track symptoms related to COVID-19 daily and report a positive COVID-19 test. No symptoms? Great! But still respond through DawgCheck every day before you leave your home. COVID-19 carriers can be asymptomatic, so using the DawgCheck tool every day is crucial to help us be proactive in stopping the spread. The health and safety of the UGA community is our top priority.

Additional information about DawgCheck:

• Even if you’re not experiencing new symptoms, responding to DawgCheck every day is critical in supporting the health and safety of our campus and the Athens community.
• When you respond to the symptom checker, you will receive a confirmation email with further instructions based on your answers.
• If you test positive for COVID-19, you are required to report your test results through DawgCheck. Your notification will inform your supervisor as well as Facilities Management to address needs for cleaning and disinfection.
• When submitting a positive test, you will be asked to retrace your steps and recall your close contacts. This information will be shared safely and securely with the Georgia Department of Public Health to help facilitate contact tracing.
• After you submit a positive COVID-19 test result, you will receive a confirmation email with further instructions.

Access DawgCheck through the UGA app or online.
