Every class day on the Coral Gables and Rosenstiel campuses, roughly 6,500 students, faculty and staff have been stopped to see if they have had exposure to COVID or if they are having any virus-related symptoms.
Thank the 30 symptom checkers stationed at campus entrances and other locations who are helping the university minimize the number of COVID cases in the campus community. Their job is to hand out a quick, four-question survey to as many people as they can. If the respondents say they are OK, the checkers give them a wristband to continue on into campus.
But after three months of adhering to the protocol, some students are not so thankful and say they are getting weary of the process.
