FAQ

If you believe you have contracted COVID-19 on the job, OSHA recommends several steps you should take, including notifying your supervisor. Your employer can take actions that will keep others in your workplace healthy and may be able to offer you leave flexibilities while you are away from work.

If you test positive, you are strongly encouraged to isolate (stay home and away from other people) for at least 5 full days, to prevent spreading the disease to others.

As noted above, those who test positive should mask indoors when around others during the full 10 days following symptom onset date (or positive test date if no symptoms). However, confirmed cases may remove their mask sooner than 10 full days after two sequential negative antigen tests at least one day apart.

Stay home when you are sick and take precautions to prevent spread.

If the day 6-, 7-, 8-, or 9-day test comes back negative, whichever day comes first, you can return to work the following day, pending resolving symptoms and no fever for 24 hours. If your day 6-, 7-, 8-, or 9- test comes back positive, you must remain in isolation until the following day.

If they test positive or their doctor diagnoses them with COVID-19, they must be excluded from the workplace and follow Table 1. If the employee tests negative and returns to work, the employee must continue to wear a well-fitting mask around others indoors for 10 days following the close contact.

You have had no fever for at least 72 hours (that is three full days of no fever without the use medicine that reduces fevers) AND. Other symptoms have improved (for example, when your cough or shortness of breath have improved) AND. At least seven days have passed since your symptoms first appeared.
