If you have been potentially exposed to a client or other person that has tested positive for COVID-19, you will likely feel anxious or concerned about your own health. Please know that your risk of infection is low if you were wearing your personal protective equipment correctly and practicing hand hygiene regularly.
However, despite the low risk, we require anyone potentially exposed to be tested for COVID-19 before returning to work. This way we can eliminate the potential for unknowingly spreading infection to others.
Who should go get tested?
Please go get tested if:
- You have been asked by your CSS to be tested OR
- You are showing symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, cough, shortness of breath).
If you are showing symptoms, please contact your CSS immediately to notify them.
