Below is important information regarding testing requirements for employees to return to work following a COVID-19 diagnosis. Please share this information with your clients and Kaiser Permanente members. We also invite you to a live Facebook Q&A where our physicians will discuss what to do should you or a family member test positive.

CDC Guidance for Employee Return to Work Following COVID-19 Diagnosis
The CDC no longer recommends that employees need a negative COVID test to return to work. According to the CDC, individuals who test positive for COVID-19 and whose symptoms are resolving need only isolate for five days as long as they continue to wear masks for an additional five days. For individuals exposed to the virus who are unvaccinated or are not yet boosted, the CDC recommended that they quarantine for five days and wear masks for another five days. The CDC also said boosted Americans could return to work after exposure but that they should wear a mask for 10 days.
