For immune-competent HCP with single-dermatomal shingles, we allow them to work if the lesions are non-draining and can be fully covered by normal work clothing, and if they are feeling well enough to function normally.  All others are furloughed until the lesions are fully crusted.

Personally I miss having longer light in the evenings! Amy

Happy November, Monday, end of DST, and more!



What guidance do you use at your institution for employees with active shingles?



THANKS for your help and guidance.  I'd be more than happy to summarize responses or if able to respond with a website link, would be much appreciated.  Darryl
