COVID - Team Member from My Office was in contact with a person with COVID. What should I do?
One of my staff was visiting a friend over the past weekend. Just got confirmation that her friend has Covid. What should I do? Should we evacuate the entire office? Or should we wait for symptoms? All I know is she was in direct contact with a person who has been certified positive with COVID earlier today

Hi!
Thank you for your question. I understand that you are worried about the risk of COVID-19 infection. Advice your staff to asess her risk by encouraging her to answer the quiz on Risk Assessment for COVID-19 to evaluate her health status in regards to this disease. After completing this quiz, she will be classified into several categories. In the meantime, she should monitor COVID19 symptoms.
According to WHO, the common symptoms of COVID-19 infection are:
- Fever (more than 37.5 degrees celcius)
- Fatigue
- Cough
- Aches and pains
- Sorethroat
- Headaches
- Shortness of breath
