Ensure sick staff stay home and prompt identification and isolation of sick persons Staff have been informed of and directed to self-monitor for signs and symptoms of COVID-19. The following policies and procedures are being implemented to assess staff’ health status prior to entering the workplace and for staff to report when they are sick or experiencing symptoms. • Employees are directed to stay home if they are sick or experiencing symptoms while at home and notify their supervisor. • If symptoms appear during the workday, an employee should immediately notify their supervisor that they must leave and determine who they have had close contact with in the past 48 hours. • If an employee appears to have COVID-19 symptoms at the workplace, supervisors have the authority to require the employee leave the workplace. • Steps will be taken to assist the ill employee if they are too ill to leave the workplace on their own, including isolating the employee until they are able to leave the facility. The City of St. Anthony has existing leave policies that support staff staying at home when they are sick, when household members are sick, or when required by a health care provider to isolate or quarantine themselves or a member of their household. Details of those policies can be found in the Employee Resource Guide and applicable union contracts. Accommodations for staff with underlying medical conditions or who have household members with underlying health conditions will be made in accordance with the Families First Coronavirus Response Act. The City of St. Anthony has also implemented a policy for informing staff if they have been exposed to a person with COVID-19 at their workplace and requiring them to quarantine for the required amount of time. Supervisors will notify affected employees if they have been exposed to COVID-19. A discussion will take place to determine who they have had recent contact with in the past 48 hours. If distancing and other guidelines may not have been followed, then the exposed employees will be required to stay home per MDH and CDC guidelines. 44
