Symptomatic Employees:

  • If an employee is exhibiting COVID-19 related symptoms upon arrival to work, or becomes sick during the day, their supervisor must separate them from other employees and participants and send them home and notify the office manager
  • The supervisor should document the circumstances of the worker’s illness to help with contact tracing, as applicable and provide information to the office manager who will contact Summit County Public Health
  • Because one can carry COVID-19 with no symptoms at all, anyone who has been in close contact with a person known to have had the virus, or whose family or friends show signs of exposure, should behave as if they are infected, isolate themselves, and contact their physician
  • Returning to Work:
    • Workers with positive test of acute respiratory illness associated with COVID-19 may return to work after (a) home isolation for 14 days since their first symptoms or positive test, and (b) medical authorization

An employee sent home can return to work when:

  • He or she has had no fever for at least three (3) days without taking medication to reduce fever during that time; AND
  • Any respiratory symptoms (cough and shortness of breath) have improved; AND
  • An employee may return to work earlier if a doctor confirms the cause of an employee’s fever or other symptoms is not COVID-19 and releases the employee to return to work in writing
