Administrative process:

- An evaluation of an employee’s risk, potential exposure of others in the workplace, recommendation for quarantine or isolation, and subsequent clearance to return to work will be completed by HR Director or HS Director.
- MUSD will provide recommendations in accordance with ADHS Quarantine and return from Isolation guidelines with respect to all suspect and confirmed COVID-19 cases. The current guidelines can be found here.
- MUSD will report all positive COVID-19 cases to Pima County Health
Department and will collaborate with PCHD in contact tracing efforts. - A supervisor may request a medical clearance as a condition to return to work at the end of the isolation period.
- A supervisor cannot require an employee take another COVID-19 test as a condition to return to work.
