Important Guidelines
NEW : CDC Guidelines Regarding Responses To Employees Exposed To COVID-19
On April 8, 2020, CDC issued new guidelines aimed at getting workers who have been exposed to COVID-19 back to work faster. Under previous guidance, workers were told to stay at home for 14 days if exposed to someone with a confirmed/suspected case of COVID-19.
The new guidelines allow critical workers (see list here) in 16 sectors (i.e. financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, others) who have been exposed to COVID-19 (i.e. exposure to a household contact, close contact within 6ft of an individual with confirmed or suspected COVID-19) to continue to work as long as they remain asymptomatic and additional precautions are being taken to protect themselves and those around them including:
Pre-screen: The worker’s temperature should be taken prior to the individual entering the work facility to assess symptoms prior to them starting work.
Frequent Monitoring: As long as the employee doesn’t have a fever or other symptoms COVID-19 related, they should self-monitor under the supervision of their employer.
Wear a Mask: The employee should wear an approved face mask or a face covering (in the event of a shortage) at all times while in the workplace for 14 days after last exposure.
Social Distancing: The employee should maintain 6ft of distance and social distancing while performing work duties.
Disinfection and Cleaning: Clean and disinfect all areas including offices, bathrooms, common areas, shared electronic equipment, kitchen appliances, water coolers, etc. routinely.
IF the employee becomes ill at work, they should go home immediately. Any area or equipment in their workspace should be cleaned/disinfected. Employee information on who was in close proximity the day the worker experienced symptoms and 2 days prior should be noted and are considered exposed.
*The guidelines for non-essential workers remains as is and are included (HERE).

-
The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, tiredness, dry cough and breathing issues.

- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after being in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Put distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community. Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing; throw used tissues in the trash. If a tissue isn’t available, cough or sneeze into your elbow or sleeve, not your hands. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, desks, computers, phones, keyboards, sinks, toilets and countertops. If surfaces are dirty, clean them - use detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection. Full information on how to disinfect found here.
