Hey Pam!!

At our clinic, we provide employees with rapid home tests, a total of 4, and do a series of tests. They test 3 days in a row, skip day 4, then test again on day 5. If there was an exposure the testing is delayed until 5 days post exposure. If they are symptomatic, they test as soon as possible. I hope that helps!!

Hi all,

What is your practice for getting staff tested if they complain of COVID-like symptoms?  Do you require a lab test or does a home test work?  Do you require proof of the positive test to be submitted to employee health?  Any input is welcome.  Thank you!

Sincerely,

Pam Caudill, BSN RN
