[MCOH-EH] Returning high risk covid exposures to work (PRATER, DEANNA)

[Jeremy Biggs]

We are still having health are workers with medium/high risk exposures take a LOA up to 14 days depending on the situation and place worked.
It may change based off the workforce needs at any given time.
We have had several employees with this LOA eventually test positive, but there have been several that have not as well.

For those of you working in healthcare,  have any of you went the route of just allowing all asymptomatic Medium/High Risk exposed healthcare workers to work?  We've been restricting those who are Medium/High risk, but I'm not seing the logic in it with my experience.
