Description

NOTE: This tool is not intended to provide medical advice. If you have medical questions, consult a healthcare provider or your local public health unit. ##Purpose The COVID-19 Self-Assessment Tool provides a user-friendly interface with a decision tree.

  • self-isolating
  • seeking assessment (get a COVID-19 test)
  • practising physical distancing The main use cases for the self-assessment are to provide:
  • advice to those concerned they may have contracted or been exposed to COVID-19
  • a record of self-assessment to those who complete the assessment with no symptoms or other risk factors ##Reach The self-assessment is only meant as an aid for people in Ontario. It is not part of any specific regulatory or legislative guidance or required for participation in any government programs, services or funding. Users are free to follow or disregard recommendations of the tool at their own discretion. While anonymous data is collected around answers and results to aid in syndromic surveillance no records are kept of the decisions taken by users. ##Potential impacts Decisions made based on the results of the tool can impact the short-term medical seeking behaviour of people in Ontario. ##Internal use policies This is a tool made for public use and is not used as part of internal decision or policy making. ##Technical description The tool is implemented using Gatsby, which is a React-based, GraphQL powered static site generator. Because Gatsby compiles into static HTML/CSS/JS, it enables blistering performance and simple deployments.
