Additional Consideration #1 Multiple COVID-19 Infections and COVID-19 Outbreaks This section of CPP will stay in effect until there are no new COVID-19 cases detected in our workplace for a 14-day period. COVID-19 testing • We will provide COVID-19 testing to all employees in our exposed workplace except for employees who were not present during the period of an outbreak identified by a local health department or the relevant 14-day period. COVID-19 testing will be provided at no cost to employees during employees' working hours. • COVID-19 testing consists of the following: o All employees in our exposed workplace will be immediately tested and then tested again one week later. Negative COVID-19 test results of employees with COVID-19 exposure will not impact the duration of any quarantine period required by, or orders issued by, the local health department. o After the first two COVID-19 tests, we will continue to provide COVID-19 testing of employees who remain at the workplace at least once per week, or more frequently if recommended by the local health department, until there are no new COVID-19 cases detected in our workplace for a 14-day period. o We will provide additional testing when deemed necessary by Cal/OSHA.
