FAQ

Yes, a doctor's note may be required. However, DOL encourages employers to consider that during a pandemic, healthcare resources may be overwhelmed and it may be difficult for employees to get appointments with doctors or other health care providers to verify they are well or no longer contagious.

Once a COVID-19 case is identified at the workplace, the employer must: If the individual is symptomatic, immediately exclude the case from the workplace until they meet all return to work criteria (see Exclusion Requirements and Return to Work below). If the case is asymptomatic, exclusion is not required.

Employees may return when 24 hours have passed with no fever, without the use of fever reducing medications, and symptoms are mild and improving. In addition, when the excluded employee returns, they must continue to wear a mask for 10 days from symptom onset.

Asymptomatic COVID-19 positive staff may return to work after at least 10 days have passed since the date of their positive test. Agencies should notify their local health department if they become aware of a staff member who tested positive for COVID-19 for additional guidance and support.

OSHA recommends that workers tell their supervisors if they have tested positive for COVID-19 so that employers can take steps to protect other workers. Such steps can include cleaning and disinfection and removing or isolating the COVID-19 positive worker (e.g., by allowing that worker to telework).

Updated Guidance: The updated Respiratory Virus Guidance recommends that people stay home and away from others until at least 24 hours after both their symptoms are getting better overall, and they have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).
