Yes, we too still quarantine the 5 days and require the face mask for 10 days upon their return. When we get push back, we advise employees that they can file a workers’ comp (WC) claim if they think that their exposure was work related. Our WC carrier needs a positive PCR test and confirmation that the employee was identified as directly exposed at work, either by another staff member or student. If WC claim is accepted, then the employee is eligible for Industrial Accident & Illness leave (IA) – their personal sick leave is restored and IA used for the absence.

Also, is anybody still requiring the self-certification from employees to return to work after a positive COVID?
