What should I do if I find out several days later, after an employee worked, that they were diagnosed with COVID-19?

Those who have symptoms should self-isolate and follow CDC recommended steps.

    • In most workplaces, those potentially exposed but with no symptoms should remain at home or in a comparable setting and practice social distancing for 14 days.
    • Critical infrastructure workers should follow company procedures related to suspected or Confirmed COVID-19 cases.
    • A critical infrastructure worker who is symptom-free and returns to work should wear a face mask at all times while in the workplace for 14 days after last exposure. Employers can issue facemasks or can approve employees’ supplied cloth face coverings in the event of shortages.
    • Employees not considered exposed should self-monitor for symptoms such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath. If they develop symptoms, they should notify their supervisor or manager and stay home.
