  • If a staff member receives a positive COVID test, the staff member should follow the quarantining procedures and discontinue participating in the staff testing program for 90 days following the date of the positive test.
     
  • If an unvaccinated staff member determined to be a close contact is returning to work after quarantine, they should get tested on day 5 to return on day 8.
     
  • If a staff member is on approved leave for the majority (3 or more days) of the work week, the staff member should get tested within 48 hours of returning to work, and notify their supervisor of their plans to do so.
     
  • If a staff member is on an extended leave of absence (e.g. FMLA, maternity leave, etc.), the staff member should begin the testing program upon their return to work and notify their supervisor of their plans to do so.
