See full answerResidents in the facility who develop symptoms consistent with COVID-19 could be moved to a single room pending results of SARS-CoV-2 testing. They should not be placed in a room with a new admission nor should they be moved to the COVID-19 care unit unless they are confirmed to have COVID-19 by testing. While awaiting results of testing, HCP should wear an N95 or higher-level respirator (or facemask if a respirator is not available), eye protection (i.e., goggles or a disposable face shield that covers the front and sides of the face), gloves, and gown when caring for these residents.Cloth face coverings are not considered PPE and should only be worn by HCP for source control, not when PPE is indicated. Have a plan for how roommates, other residents, and HCP who may have been exposed to an individual with COVID-19 will be handled.

Social Distance: The employee should maintain 6 feet and practice social distancing as work duties permit in the workplace.

Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after you were exposed to COVID-19.

CDC recommends wearing a cloth face covering as a measure to contain the wearer's respiratory droplets and help protect others. Employees should not wear a cloth face covering if they have trouble breathing, cannot tolerate wearing it, or can't remove it without help. Cloth face coverings are not considered personal protective equipment and may not protect the wearers from exposure to the virus that causes COVID-19. However, cloth face coverings may prevent workers, including those who don't know they have the virus, from spreading it to others.

See full answerAfter travel, all travelers should take these actions to protect others from getting sick: Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arms' length) from anyone who is not from your household. It's important to do this everywhere both indoors and outdoors. Wear a mask to keep your nose and mouth when you are outside of your home. Wash your hands often or use hand sanitizer. Watch your health: Look for symptoms of COVID-19, and take your temperature if you feel sick. See CDC's After Travel webpage to learn if you should take additional precautions. Follow state, territorial, tribal, and local recommendations or requirements.

See full answerIf you do attend such a session, maintain as much distance as possible between yourself and other individuals, and use masks if they do not interfere with your activity. If you need to be indoors, open windows to increase airflow throughout the space. Use social distancing and limit physical contact Maintain at least 6 feet of separation as much as possible in areas that may lead to close contact (within 6 feet) among other people, such as weight rooms, group fitness studios, pools and saunas, courts and fields, walking/running tracks, locker rooms, check-in areas, parking lots, and routes of entry and exit. Don't shake hands, give high-fives, do elbow bumps, or touch others because close contact increases the risk of acquiring COVID-19.

See full answerClose or limit access to common areas where employees are likely to congregate and interact, such as break rooms, parking lots, and in entrance/exit areas. Consider making foot-traffic single direction in narrow or confined areas in the bus to encourage single-file movement at a 6-foot distance. Use visual cues such as floor decals, colored tape, and signs to remind workers to maintain distance of at least 6 feet from others, including at their workstation and in break areas. Consider these cues for passengers as well, such as at the bus entry doors. Place hand sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol in multiple locations throughout the bus for workers and passengers. Use touch-free stations where possible. Make sure restrooms are well stocked with soap and paper towels.

The guidance advises that employers may permit workers who have been exposed to COVID-19, but remain without symptoms, to continue to work, provided they adhere to additional safety precautions.
