FAQ

Please remember to continue to follow preventative measures no matter how many employees are in the workplace — practice physical distancing, stay home when sick, use cough and sneeze etiquette, and practice hand hygiene as often as possible. Clean all high-touch surfaces regularly.

If they test positive or their doctor diagnoses them with COVID-19, they must be excluded from the workplace and follow Table 1. If the employee tests negative and returns to work, the employee should continue to wear a well-fitting mask around others indoors for 10 days following the close contact.

If the day 6-, 7-, 8-, or 9-day test comes back negative, whichever day comes first, you can return to work the following day, pending resolving symptoms and no fever for 24 hours. If your day 6-, 7-, 8-, or 9- test comes back positive, you must remain in isolation until the following day.

Among other benefits, an eligible employee may take up to 12 workweeks of leave in a 12-month period for a serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform the functions of the employee's job, and to care for the employee's spouse, child, or parent who has a serious health condition.

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.

Taking Care of Yourself at Home Contact your healthcare provider. Tell them you tested positive for COVID-19 and are home recovering. Take it easy. Rest up and stay hydrated. Monitor your symptoms. Report worsening symptoms to your healthcare provider.

Only leave isolation after 5 days if you have no symptoms or your symptoms are improving, including at least 24 hours without a fever. Continue to wear a mask around others until at least day 11 and avoid others who may get severely ill from COVID.

If you never had symptoms and are not immunocompromised, you can end your home isolation and return to work when at least 10 days have passed after the date you first tested positive for COVID-19.
