Employee benefits include a paid sick leave granted when an employee is unable to
work because the employee is quarantined or isolated due to COVID-19, because of a
bona fide need to care for an individual subject to quarantine or isolation, or to care for

Keeping a space at least 6 ft between employees
Establishing groups of employees based on their risk of infection in the company, where
each cohort remains as separated from the other cohorts as possible

Screen for employees with a body temp >99.5°F (37.5°C) (or other cutoff value), and
keep identified employees away from the workplace to determine whether they develop
COVID-19 symptoms or test positive for the disease
Test employees for COVID-19 (virus test); isolation: keep an employee who is sick with
COVID-19 or tested positive for COVID-19 without symptoms away from the workplace
Contact tracing: identify individuals who may have been exposed to a person with
COVID-19; quarantine: separate individuals who have had close contact with someone
with COVID-19 to determine whether they develop symptoms or test positive for the
disease
