CDC Updates and Resources

12/23/21 ​Updated CDC Guidance on Managing Healthcare Personnel with SARS-CoV-2 Infection or Exposure
Picture
On December 23, due to concerns about increased transmissibility of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, CDC updated their health care provider exposure guidance to enhance protection for healthcare personnel (HCP), patients, and visitors, and to address concerns about potential impacts on the healthcare system given a surge of SARS-CoV-2 infections. These updates will be refined as additional information becomes available to inform recommended actions.
A summary table of work restrictions for healthcare providers with SARS-CoV-2 infection or exposure is attached. 
The complete CDC guidance can be found at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/guidance-risk-assesment-hcp.html
Key changes to the guidance include:
  • Ensure that SARS-CoV-2 testing is performed with a test that is capable of detecting SARS-CoV-2, even with currently circulating variants in the United States.
  • Updated recommendations regarding when HCP with SARS-CoV-2 infection could return to work.
  • The definition of higher-risk exposure was updated to include use of a facemask (instead of a respirator) by HCP if the infected patient is not also wearing a facemask or cloth mask.
  • Added options that would allow asymptomatic HCP with a higher-risk exposure who have not received all COVID-19 vaccine doses, including booster dose, as recommended by CDC to return to work prior to the previously recommended 14-day post-exposure period of work restriction, assuming they do not develop symptoms or test positive for SARS-CoV-2.
Below is syndicated content from the CDC website with current information regarding COVID-19.
​This information can also be found using the CDC link above. 

Guidance includes information for dialysis, cleaning and disinfecting, lab specimens, local health departments, and guidance for schools and higher education facilities.
