Signs and Symptoms Symptoms of COVID-19 typically include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Some people nfected with the virus have reported experiencing other non -respiratory symptoms such as fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Other people, referred to as asymptomatic cases, have experienced no symptoms at all. According to the CDC, symptoms of COVID-19 may appear in as few as 2 days or as long as 14 days after exposure. It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has SARS-CoV-2 on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the primary way the virus spreads. The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person, including: a. Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). b. Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Workers will be allowed and encouraged to wear face coverings over their nose and mouth to prevent them from spreading the virus when talking, coughing, and/or sneezing if the use of a mask does not present or increase a hazard. Employees will be instructed in the proper use of face masks. Note: Cloth face coverings are not PPE, because they protect other people from the wearer's respiratory secretions, rather than protecting the wearer. Procedures for a Confirmed Case If an employee is confirmed to have COVID-19, fellow employees will be informed of their possible exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace, but confidentiality will be maintained as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Employees exposed to a co-worker with confirmed COVID-19 will be referred to CDC guidance for how to conduct a risk assessment of their potential exposure.

If soap and running water are not immediately available, alcohol -based hand rubs containing at least 60% alcohol will be provided. b.
