Are you ill, or caring for someone who is ill?

- Volunteers who are well but who have a sick family member at home with COVID-19 should notify the Food Bank of Lincoln.

In the two weeks before you felt sick, did you:

□ Have contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19?

□ Live in or visit a place where COVID-19 is spreading?

• I attest that I am not experiencing any symptoms of illness such as a fever, cough, or shortness of breath. If I develop these symptoms, I agree that I will cancel my shift before arriving at the Food Bank, as far in advance as possible.

• I am aware that I must follow the safety and hygiene protocols that have been implemented by the Food Bank of Lincoln and that are posted onsite and offsite for my review.

• I attest that:
o I have not traveled internationally in the past 14 days.
o I have not traveled to a highly impacted area within the United States in the past 14 days.
o I do not believe that I have been exposed to a person with a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19.
o I have not been diagnosed with COVID-19 and not yet cleared as non-contagious by state or local public health authorities.
o I am following recommended guidelines as much as possible - practicing social distancing by participating in group activities of fewer than 10, trying to maintain separation of six feet from others, and otherwise limiting my exposure to the coronavirus.
