A senior African American woman with gray hair sits on a black metal folding chair outside a COVID-19 screening clinic and smiles broadly at the camera. She holds a small non-contact thermometer in her hands, which rest in her lap. She wears black-framed glasses, a black top with a University of Maryland Medical System logo on the right sleeve, black pants, and dark-patterned shoes. In the background, another person wears a medical mask standing near a tall black banner that reads “PRE-SCREENING” in large yellow letters. The banner has additional text, but it is not fully visible in the photograph.
