Developed by scientists and information technology staff
from the University of Rochester Medical Center and Rochester Regional Health,
ROC COVID is a simple web-based tool to collect health information from
volunteers in Allegany, Chemung, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans,
Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Wayne, Wyoming and Yates counties.
The data collected will be securely housed by Common Ground
Health, a regional health planning organization. Individual participants will
not be tracked. The analysis will help healthcare and community leaders
evaluate how well social distancing protocols are working and where there might
be flare-ups of the virus, and some communities may be offered testing as a
result of the data collected.
If you would like to help with this effort, please go to
ROCCOVID.org to sign up for the online survey tool – it only takes seconds to
complete. The only required information to participate is your zip code. When
you register, you will have the option to answer basic demographic questions,
but this information is not required to take part in ROC COVID. You can also
opt-in to receive daily reminders to take the survey.
For more information or to sign up, please go to the
