​Yes, if they can isolate then test, if (-) work with mask and quarantine after work for 14 days and leave work if symptoms. If cannot isolate out of work 14 days or until public health releases sentinel case to RTW. At that point HHC gets tested and if (-) returns to work.

Are you also quarantining employees if positive household members?

We are facing staffing shortages and will likely need to follow the cdc guidance allowing positive employees to work under their guidelines.

Is anyone allowing quarantined workers to return to work following the CDC guidance

We are telling management that they need to determine what’s critical. 

It’s feeling quite uncomfortable. 

Thank you
