1. General Information The following guidance has been established to better handle situations such as a pandemic like COVID-19. The information below is what is expected to be provided to the Contracting Squadron in the event that a pandemic effects the base and the local population, to include the contractors that we work with on a daily basis.

2. Scenarios

• If you are a close contact (within 6ft or less for 15 minutes or longer regardless of mask wear) of a positive patient, you will go into quarantine for 14 days from the date of last contact

- You cannot test out of quarantine, you must complete the full 14 days

- If you have symptoms* during quarantine, seek testing

• If you are ill with the CDC listed symptoms*, immediately go into isolation and contact your healthcare provider. If you test positive or your provider has determined that you are to be treated as a COVID-19 positive without testing, you will return to work based on CDC guidelines**

• If you have recent OCONUS travel, ROM for 14 days from arrival to the local area

• If you have recent CONUS travel, ROM is up to COR/Gov’t POC discretion

3. Return to Work Guidance

• Symptom Based (default strategy)

- At least 10 days have passed since symptom onset and at least 24 hours have passed since resolution of fever without the use of fever-reducing medications and other symptoms have improved

- Once these are met, employee will be able to return to work

• Asymptomatic (ROM/Quarantine)

- If an employee does not develop symptoms, employee is automatically cleared to return to work after 14 days

• Asymptomatic (Tested positive)

- For patients who test positive but have no symptoms, isolation can be discontinued 10 days after the first positive PCR test *Symptoms: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html **RTD Guidelines: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/disposition-in-home-patients.html
