Question: Can we screen employees returning to work for COVID-19? And the related: Can we tell employees who travel to stay home and quarantine, even if they don’t have symptoms?
Answer:
Yes. However, given the widespread community transmission in the United States, an individual who has traveled may pose no more risk than someone who has not. If you feel where they traveled to was higher risk than where your workplace is located and that concerns you, consider options to keep them working during the quarantine period.
