2. Train employees on how to limit the spread of COVID-19, including how to screen themselves for symptoms and stay home if they have them
3. Implement individual control measures and screenings

As we work to lessen the impacts of COVID-19 on our community, it is critical that employees needing to self-isolate because of COVID-19 are encouraged to stay at home, with sick leave policies to support that. Please help us prevent further infection in your workplace. See additional information on government programs supporting sick leave and worker’s compensation for COVID-19.
