With the COVID-19 vaccination drive going smoothly, the fear of the coronavirus pandemic is reducing, and life is getting back to normal. One sign of this normalcy is the fact that offices are being reopened and staff is being asked to work from the office. If you are an employer and want to set up COVID screening at the office, the simplest way to do that is via Google Forms. Read on to know how you can build a workplace COVID-19 screening form by using Google.

emails that offer access to google.
Ø Go to Google forms and click on the
start a new form section on the top left-hand side.
Ø Click on blank and then add the
title- Workplace COVID-19 Screening form or something similar.
Ø Add a description to the form. You
can like something like every employee returning to office need to fill this
form. No exceptions.
Ø Ensure that the form collects valid
email addresses by visiting the setting icon and going to the general tab.
There you will find a box that says, “Collect email addresses.” Then click
“save.”
Ø The next step is to select the first
question and input it in the section named untitled question. For example, the
first question could be something like, have you contracted COVID-19 to date?
Ø If you want to add checkboxes to a question,
you can go to the dropdown menu on the top right-hand side and select
“checkboxes.”

Ø To add the next question, select the
+ button located on the moving sidebar that is placed on the right-hand side.

· Select Answer Key and pick the right
answer to each question.
Ø The next step is to shorten the URL
and send it to all the people you need to fill the form.
Ø You can also create a unique QR code
that people can scan to access the form whenever they need to come to the
office. For that, visit the Go to QR code Monkey and select the “create QR code
option. At this point, you can also add a custom logo.
Ø After the QR code is created, you
can print it and make it available to all employees. Then, they can scan it
