Employer Questions of the Month with Dr. Tim Hendrix
To help keep you and your employees informed, Medical Director Dr. Tim Hendrix has provided recommendations for the top questions asked by employers each month.
Should I wear a mask at work? What if I’m fully vaccinated?
Yes, masks are still an effective way to reduce transmission of COVID-19 . You should continue to wear a mask indoors even if you’re vaccinated due to the current surge of COVID-19.
I’m fully vaccinated, but have some symptoms of COVID-19. Should I get a test?
Yes. If you’re sick, or having symptoms, you should still get tested for COVID-19, even if you’re fully vaccinated.
What do I do if I’ve been exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19?
If you’re exposed and vaccinated, there is no need to quarantine, but you should get tested 3-5 days after the exposure, wear your mask and self-monitor for symptoms. If you’re unvaccinated and have an exposure, you must quarantine for 14 days and self-monitor for symptoms. Whether vaccinated or unvaccinated, if you feel ill, you should get tested immediately.
I’ve just tested positive for COVID-19. How long do I need to quarantine?
If you’ve been diagnosed with COVID-19, you need to isolate at home for at least 10 days from the start of symptoms, regardless of whether or not you have been vaccinated.
I’m fully vaccinated. Are the vaccines effective against the delta variant?
Yes. Recent studies have shown that all currently available vaccines have a 80-90% effectiveness against the new Delta Variant.
