- Contact their supervisor right away.
- Continue social distancing and adhere to infection control precautions.
- Await recommendation from their Supervisor, Health Services Director, or Human Resources Director.
* An employee who is awaiting test results must not report to work until receipt of the results. If results are positive, employee must contact their supervisor, HR Director or HS Director for further guidance. -
Administrative process:
- When an employee’s supervisor becomes aware of an employee’s exposure to or confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19, the Supervisor must notify the Health Services Director and Human Resource Director via the COVID team email (covid@maranausd.org)
- An evaluation of an employee’s risk, potential exposure of others in the workplace, need for quarantine or isolation, and subsequent clearance to return to work will be completed by HR Director or HS Director.
- MUSD will follow ADHS Quarantine and return from Isolation guidelines with respect to all suspect and confirmed COVID-19 cases.
- 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.
