Please thank the Customer Service helpers for arriving immediately. 10 minutes prior to departure; the lead Flight Attendant (FA) informed us there was a female passenger who was dizzy and had vomited. The FA was concerned about the passenger's fitness to fly and requested we call for the Customer Service helpers. They arrived and immediately removed the passenger. I suggested to the Gate Agents that they consider calling for Medical Assistance. I discussed the situation with the lead FA and First Officer. The lead FA said the passenger had described a history of kidney illness. We all agreed we had not received any information that would cause us to suspect COVID-19 illness. We departed on time. I described the event to our Dispatcher via ACARS. After arrival; I called the Duty Officer and the Chief Pilot on Duty and reported the event to them.
Air Carrier Captain reported a ill passenger was removed from the flight before departure.
