How long should I keep a sick or exposed employee out?

8

How long should I keep a sick or exposed employee

• ut? employee out? COVID-19?
• Following current guidance - keep sick employees out for at least 10 days,

including 3 days fever-free without fever-reducing medicine like Tylenol, and with respiratory symptoms resolved. Check CDC website for updates.

• Keep exposed employees out for 14 days from most recent exposure (who worked

within 6 feet for 15+ consecutive minutes, live with, care for, or had “close contact” with a confirmed or presumed positive).

• These guidelines come from the CDC, but you should work with your local health

department, and when in doubt, be conservative with keeping employees out.

So what should we be doing?

10

SO WHAT SHOULD WE BE DOING?

Handwashing prevents Colds, Flu, Hep A , Norovirus and COVID-19. And… cough into an elbow. Don’t work sick; don’t let anyone work sick. Wellness Checks (and Temp checks where required) need to be part of daily routine. Keep sick employees out for at least 10 days, including 3 fever-free. Keep exposed employees out for 14 days. Bathroom cleanliness is more important than ever. Focus on touchpoints – toilet, stall, sink and bathroom door handles and also sinks - at work and at home! Handwashing, Handwashing, Handwashing!

What other questions are we hearing?

12

for Just? Just

• Do we need two negatives to return an employee to work?
• Do we need to notify guests about a positive?
• Should we be closing ?
• Why are employees with COVID coming back to work sooner than employees who

were exposed?

• Should we be testing everyone, anyone? COVID-19 testing or antibody testing?
• Social distancing for guests has been pretty straightforward, but how about staff?
• How do we manage staff fear and anxiety?

Restaurateurs, hoteliers and facilities managers told us that concern about health issues keeps them up at night Zedic provides access to a team of public health, food safety, and medical professionals 24/7. We help determine if an ill employee or patron poses a health risk, if the facility can safely operate, and if the health department should be contacted. Until now, this level of personalized service offered through Zedic was only available to large, national chains and corporations.

That’s Why We Created Zedic

THE CASE FOR ZEDIC

Introducing Automated Wellness Checks

Daily employee wellness checks are here to stay. So how do we do them well? They need to be fast and easy, run automatically, and happen before employees show up for work. Our clinical team will chat with employees directly so your managers don’t have to be the ones making clinical judgement calls. STEP 1: Employees fill out easy web survey, works on any computer or phone, iPhone or Android. STEP 2: Employee receives a CLEARED or NOT CLEARED message immediately on the page and by email (and we alert their manager when they’re not cleared!) STEP 3: The Zedic Clinical Team texts or emails with NO CLEARED employees to get more info and determine when they can return to work (~50% of the time we can return them to work without missing a shift!)
