When your business is open:

a. Employees who have symptoms (i.e., fever, cough, or shortness of breath) should notify their supervisor and stay home.

b. Sick employees should follow recommended steps. Employees should not return to work until the criteria to discontinue home isolation are met, in consultation with healthcare providers.

c. Employees who are well but who have a sick family member at home with COVID-19 should notify their supervisor and stay home.

d. Be aware that some employees may be at higher risk for serious illness, such as older adults and those with chronic medical conditions. Consider minimizing face-to-face contact between these employees or assign work tasks that allow them to maintain a distance of 2 meters from other workers, customers and visitors, or to telework if possible.

e. Employees who appear to have symptoms (i.e., fever, cough, or shortness of breath) upon arrival at work or who become sick during the day should immediately be separated from other employees, customers, and visitors and sent home.

f. If an employee is confirmed to have COVID-19 infection, employers should inform fellow employees of their possible exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace but maintain confidentiality
