On May 7, 2022 (Yes, that was a Saturday), CalOSHA issued a Fact Sheet and updated Frequently Asked Questions (“FAQs”) to align with, and explain, its revised Emergency Temporary Standards (“ETS”) for preventing and responding to COVID-19 in the workplace.
Among other things, the FAQs contain the various tables outlined below, which provide the isolation and quarantine periods (aka “exclusion periods”) that the ETS requires. The requirements are based on recommendations from the California Department of Public Health (“CDPH”) and depend on whether or not employees who test positive for COVID-19 are symptomatic or asymptomatic, and on whether others who came into close contact with the positive employee develop symptoms or not.
The full FAQs can be obtained here.
