Subject: [MCOH-EH] Question about COVID-19 return to work policies

 

Hello, 

 

I was wondering if anyone would be comfortable sharing their organization's current policy for returning to work following COVID-19 infection?

We were considering making our policy more stringent in light of the updated CDC guidance. I am curious to know what other policies are out there. 

 

Our current policy is:

Return on day #6 if an antigen test is negative on day #5

OR

Return on day #7 (no testing required)

In both cases the employee must be fever-free x24 hours and free of vomiting/diarrhea x48 hours. 

 

Thank you,
