Re-opening Guidelines to insure customer safety as well as Employee.
What are we doing to insure customer safety?
I. Employee Testing
All employees must be tested for COVID-19 prior to returning to work.
a. Testing Requirements for Employees Prior to Returning to Work
All employees returning to work must be tested for COVID-19 prior to physically returning to work. Employees can be tested by calling the State Fair Grounds call center number at (313) 230-0505 and scheduling an appointment using code 123456DT. Most receive next day appointments. No prescription is required. Employee results should be available within 3-4 days. Results are communicated by your chosen method when you set up your patient profile.
Employees testing negative for COVID-19 must meet the following conditions before returning to work:
· The employee must provide a copy of their negative test results to Human Resources/Center Manager. Human Resources/Center Managers will maintain records the COVID-test documentation.
· Individuals cannot return to work if they have had fever, cough, shortness of breath, and/or sore throat within the previous 72 hours.
Employees who have tested positive for COVID-19 must be cleared before returning to work. Ensure the following prior to certifying they are ready to return to work:
· At least seven days must have elapsed since a positive test.
· Individual must be free of fever, shortness of breath, and/or sore throat, without medication, for 72 hours.
If the prior conditions have been met, the employee must schedule a return to work test at State Fair Grounds by calling (313) 230-0505 and scheduling an appointment using code 123456DT. A COVID-19 test must be administered to clear the employee to return to work.
Employees may rely on a private test to be cleared to return to work. Employees who coordinated private testing must complete the following before returning to work:
· The individual must inform their Direct Supervisor and Human Resources/Center Manager that a test was taken.
· The test must have been taken within two (2) weeks prior to the return-to-work date
· The individual may not return to work until test results are available
