Penn State Health and the College of Medicine have updated the Interim Employee Travel and Quarantine Policy.

Under the new policy, employees living with someone who is either COVID-19 positive or symptomatic and awaiting test results must be quarantined from the workplace for nine continuous calendar days after their last household exposure.

Employees with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 must be quarantined from the workplace until at least 10 continuous calendar days from the onset of symptoms and cannot return to work until they have fully recovered.

For full details, please refer to the policy on the COVID-19 HR page. The change is in the required workplace quarantine time period in sections 6 and 7.
