    National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (U.S.). Division of Viral Diseases.
  • Description:
    CDC guidance for COVID-19 may be adapted by state and local health departments to respond to rapidly changing local circumstances. Who this is for: Occupational health programs and public health officials making decisions about return to work for healthcare personnel (HCP) with confirmed COVID-19, or who have suspected COVID-19 (e.g., developed symptoms of a respiratory infection [e.g., cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, fever] but did not get tested for COVID-19). Decisions about return to work for HCP with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 should be made in the context of local circumstances. Options include a test-based strategy or a non-test-based strategy (i.e., time-since-illness-onset and time-since-recovery strategy).
