Health checkups are daily
This “health status” protocol is a standard safety measure for all human space flights. The aim is to ensure that astronauts are free from any infectious disease, which can put the mission at risk or threaten members of other crew members of ISS.

During this time astronauts are kept in a controlled environment, where strict hygiene rules are applied. They have daily health checkups and are limited to contact with outsiders. This process is extremely important because ISS is a close system, where even a slight disease can cause serious consequences.
