I am also interested to hear what other are doing. We are looking discussing this as well.
Thanks,

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Question on travel restrictions
Good morning all…
Do any of you require self-quarantine for 14 days after domestic travel? Our healthcare organization currently requires a 14 day quarantine for any international travel and any domestic travel to New York, Louisiana, New Jersey, and
other areas that are currently “hot zones” such as Miami area in Florida. We review travel on a case by case basis via our COVID-19 hotline, and inquire about where they are visiting, how many people they will be around, what they will be doing, etc.
With summer coming and employees wanting to plan vacations, we were wondering what others were doing at other healthcare organizations in reference to travel restrictions.
Also…how many of you are screening employees before they enter your facility? We are doing a symptom screen, have you traveled in the past 14 days and a temp check. We are moving to a mobile app that the team member can sign into before
work, answer the questions and then just shows the screener the “green light” and then only needs a temp check.
Thank you!
