A new online and mobile COVID-19 screening tool will help veterans entering the Roseburg VA Health Care System

A VA release said veterans, staff, delivery drivers and contractors can now answer required screening questions using a mobile device before departing for their visit.

The screening tool is only an option so veterans without a mobile device can proceed as normal to attend appointments.

The new screening tool is found at: https://www.va.gov/covid19screen. Mobile device users can text “Screen” to 53079 to have a link to the tool sent to their phone. After completing the screening questions, those entering the VA campus just show the results to the screeners and then have their temperature taken.

Call the Roseburg VA for more information.
