COVID-19 Employee
Screening App
The COVID-19 Employee Screening Platform is focused on helping employers keep their workers and workplace safe during the pandemic. Let’s work together to stop the spread.
Workers can self-assess for coronavirus risk factors and then determine if they should report to work
Employers can monitor the status of their workforce with real-time reporting and dashboards.
Learn How it Works in 80 Seconds
Employee
Health Check App

Secure Digital Forms
Prior to reporting to work, employees fill out the COVID-19 self-assessment form in the secure app for Android, iOS (Apple) or Windows.
If the employee is at risk of transmitting COVID-19 or in a high-risk group, the app will instruct them to stay home and notify their manager. All personal information is protected and only shared with the employer.

Team Tracking
Tools & Dashboard

Automatic Email Notifications
Get notified immediately if someone shouldn’t report to work. When an employee has completed a self-assessment, their manager will receive email notification of the worker’s status (i.e. if they are able to report to work or are in need of further COVID-19 screening).

Easy to Use Reporting Tools
Quickly see who should and should not report to work. Monitor your workforce and their COVID-19 risks over time with easy-to-use and secure reporting tools.

Additional Features
We’ve developed additional features and functionality to help organizations stop the spread.

Temperature Checks
As an additional precaution, users can easily document temperature check results in the app. Results can be instantly uploaded and shared with the organization.

Contactless Visitor Screening
Screen visitors to your workplace quickly and easily without physical interaction. Available via mobile and web.

Document Centre
Upload documents and make them available to your team. A place to keep all of your COVID-19 related policies, procedures, and internal communications at your team’s fingertips.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the COVID-19 assessment questions?
The screening questionnaire is based on the latest assessment questions available from public health officials (i.e. CDC, PHAC, Province of Ontario, etc.).
In Canada, the self-assessment questions used in the app are modeled after the Province of Ontario’s COVID-19 Self Assessment Tool and the Public Health Agency of Canada’s COVID-19 Symptom Self-Assessment Tool.
For US-based organizations, the screening questions are modeled after the Center for Disease Control’s (CDC) COVID-19 Self-Checker.
Can we modify the assessment questions?
Of course! However, we recommend that you use screening questions that are aligned with your local public health authorities’ guidance.
Our screening questionnaire is based on the latest assessment questions available from public health officials in your jurisdiction (i.e. CDC, PHAC, Province of Ontario, etc.). The legal advice we received from an employer’s perspective is that the assessment questions follow the exact questions offered by the public health officials. Deviating from guidance from public health officials was highly discouraged by legal counsel.
Note: If you change the assessment questions, we will lose the ability to automatically push new updates to your assessment questionnaire if public health authorities change the assessment criteria in the future (which we expect will happen as they have already changed multiple times in the last month). This means that changing the questions and future updates to the app will need to be a manual process and would be your responsibility. We consider customization of the questionnaire billable work and would encourage you to reach out to our team to discuss further.
If guidance from Public Health Officials (i.e. CDC, PHAC, etc.) changes, will the app be updated?
Yes. We will endeavor to update the assessment questions as guidance from public health officials around COVID-19 screening evolves and always provide our partners with the ability to update their assessments.
Is there a limit to the number of users?
No, there is not a limit on the number of users.
Is there a limit on the number of assessments each employee can complete?
There is a soft limit of 50 assessments per month for each employee. Some employers are requiring their staff to complete an assessment prior to reporting to work and at the end of their shift.
Do users need to have access to the internet to complete the assessment?
No. However, an internet connection is required to upload the responses to the system, meaning that employers will not receive email notifications about the results of the employee’s self-assessment. The app works both offline and online, meaning that if a user is offline when they submit their self-assessment, then when they have an active internet connection the app will automatically sync the data with the system.
How secure is your system?
We take security seriously. Our platform is hosted on Microsoft’s Azure cloud infrastructure, which enables us to deliver highly scalable, available, and fault-tolerant services. Our application architecture has been designed to leverage Azure’s strong geo-redundancy, replication, and recovery options, and follows Microsoft recommended best practices and processes. Azure meets a broad set of international and industry-specific security, privacy, and compliance standards including ISO 27001, HIPAA, FedRAMP, SOC 1, and SOC 2.
Data Replication and Backup
Data generated and stored on the platform is replicated between two physical data centers via Azure’s paired region approach. We utilize Azure geo-replication and geo-redundancy features for storage and database operations, guided by Microsoft’s recommended practices. Point-in-time backups are also automatically executed hourly for database and daily for general file storage.
System Failover and Disaster Recover
Our application architecture follows best practices to ensure failover and recovery can occur across multiple levels and scenarios. At a hosting level, the platform is deployed across a primary and secondary data center pair. These data centers are sufficiently physically distant from each other to reduce the likelihood of natural disasters, civil unrest, power outages, or physical network outages affecting both regions at once. In the event of tier failure or outright disaster, failover procedures will transition services from our primary to the secondary center.
Network and Platform Security
Our server instances run behind Azure’s comprehensive firewall and load balancing solution. Inbound connections from both the Internet and remote management ports are blocked by default, with access tightly restricted to legitimate protocol and traffic only. All firewall configurations are version controlled and peer-reviewed as part of our standard change management processes. For more information on Azure-specific security, refer to Microsoft’s self-assessment paper here:
https://cloudsecurityalliance.org/star-registrant/microsoft-azure
Backend access to databases, storage accounts and server instances is restricted to qualified Go Evo team members only, with all actions performed using Microsoft provided management tools across SSL secured connections.
All app, web browser and REST API interactions with the Go Evo platform occur using 256 bit SSL/TLS encryption (HTTPS protocol). Users are required to log in with an email and password, and their login and access activity is recorded. API access is authenticated against a platform generated 32 character secret key token. Passwords stored on mobile devices and Go Evo servers are always encrypted using AES 256 bit encryption algorithms according to industry standard practices. When a user account is terminated or deactivated, an automatic wipe of local app data is executed when/if the user next attempts to access the app.
Reach out to our team for more details on our platform’s security and architecture.
How do you ensure user privacy?
At Go Evo only system administrators have access to your data and they are bound by strict privacy and confidentiality agreements. Within your organization, only properly authenticated users with appropriate permissions (i.e. administrators) can view employee data.
Can I set password requirements for my users?
The platform has to date enforced a simple 6 character minimum length password, with a focus on making it easy for users to get started with our service. Aside from our default Basic policy, there are two further options based on current best practice recommendations:
- NIST SP 800-63
A phrase-based policy based on the latest recommendations of NIST, which encourages human-friendly passwords that are still hard to crack. - OWASP 2017
A strict policy that favors complex passwords that are hard to crack but also harder for people to remember.
Is there a desktop version for users who don’t have access to a mobile device.
Yes. We have a secure Windows desktop application that can installed manually or deployed through an MSI package.
What languages is the self-screening offered in?
Currently, the screening questionnaires are offered in English, French (Canada), and Spanish (US). Support for other languages can be offered if required.
