If the employee is experiencing at least one symptom, the supervisor should advise the employee to stay home until cleared by a member of the COVID Reporting Team.
The supervisor will notify the COVID Reporting Team via email at covidreporting@collegeofthedesert.edu about the absence.
The supervisor will request that the employee fills out the online COVID-19 Reporting Form.
The Supervisor will confirm the completion of the form.
If your employee has questions about COVID leave, contact Human Resources.

What happens if the employee reports an exposure to someone that tested positive, but are not feeling any symptoms?

Have employees report for their shift.
The employee is required to wear a mask for 10 days after last day of exposure (required).
Have the employee submit a COVID report.
Someone from the COVID Reporting Team will follow up and provide supervisor with an email of mask regulations and testing requirements.
Employees will be required to test 3-5 days after last day of exposure.
At-Home COVID Tests are available by emailing covidreporting@collegeofthedesert.edu

A member of the COVID Reporting Team will contact the employee for more information.
The COVID Reporting Team will determine the employee’s return to campus date/end of mask regulation.
- One business day prior to the return date, the employee will be contacted to do a COVID-19 symptoms check over the phone.
- All criteria must be met before the employee will be allowed to return to campus.
