Seafood processing worksites (i.e., factories that are located in plants onshore and in vessels offshore) are a component of the critical infrastructure within the Food and Agriculture Sectorexternal icon. CDC’s Critical Infrastructure Guidance advises that critical infrastructure workers may be permitted to continue work following potential exposure to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, provided they remain asymptomatic, they have not had a positive test result for COVID-19, and additional precautions are implemented to protect them and the community. Facilities that are not part of the critical food and agriculture sector should follow the CDC Public Health Recommendations for Community-Related Exposure following workers’ potential exposure to SARS-CoV-2.
