Certain employees, who regularly operate in an environment with consistent exposure to COVID-19 patients, may be eligible for accommodation on compassionate grounds and because they cannot safely isolate at home, due to living with people who are at-risk or who are other healthcare employees.
There are now three categories of eligibility:
Category 1: Employees with unprotected exposure to confirmed or suspected cases COVID-19 and who cannot safely self-isolate at home.
Category 2: Employees who have a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 and who cannot safely self-quarantine at home.
Category 3: Employees regularly operating in an environment with consistent exposure to COVID-19 patients and require accommodation on compassionate grounds, or those who cannot safely isolate at home because they live with people who are at-risk or who are other healthcare employees.
