Welcome to the Work Well Toolkit

Current Workplace COVID Guidance

With COVID-19 Surging in the Workplace What do You Need to Know:

Safety measures in the workplace continue to be critical to reducing the spread and keeping businesses open:

• Wash hands and sanitize the work environment frequently
• Wear masks
• Social distancing of at least 6 feet
• If you are not feeling well stay at home and assess

What will happen if your employee has symptoms:

• All employees should check for symptoms on a daily basis before coming to work. This should include a review of the COVID-19 symptom list and possible temperature screening.
• If new or worsening symptoms occur they should call the Aspirus COVID-19 Call Center, 844-568-0701 or their provider. This is required to make a testing appointment.
• If tested they must isolate until they get their test result back (they should report to their employer they have received a test but they will not have a written note)
• Tests will take 1-4 days for a result (employees should enroll in MyAspirus to receive their results in the quickest manner and they can be printed for them to share with their employer)
• If negative they can return to work once their symptoms have resolved
• If positive they must follow the CDC guidelines, a minimum of 10 days and 24 hours with no symptoms before returning to work
  

What will happen if your employee is exposed and identified as a Close Contact of someone who is positive:

• A close contact is someone who has been within 6 feet for 15 minutes or longer with someone who has tested positive
• Close contacts may be contacted by Public Health as part of contact tracing
• Close contacts must quarantine for 14 days whether they have symptoms or not
• Testing may occur 4-6 days after exposure but will not alter the need to quarantine for 14 days
• A negative test still requires the full 14 days quarantine since symptoms can start anytime during the 14 days
• A positive test starts the minimum of 10 days and 24 hours with no symptoms protocol 
• After a positive test and following the 10 days/24 hours symptom free protocol it is not advised or required to get a negative COVID-19 test before return to work.
