FAQ’s regarding COVID at work
Please click here for some commonly asked questions from staff regarding COVID-19. We will continue to update this sheet as more questions come in. Thank you.
New questions and answers:
-I’ve been vaccinated, should I still participate in surveillance testing each week?
Knowing that the vaccines are not 100% effective in preventing the virus, you are welcome to continue surveillance testing when it is offered at your site each week.
-My surveillance test came back presumptive positive or positive but I’m vaccinated and feel fine. What gives?
The PCR tests that are administered through our Surveillance testing are some of the most sensitive and accurate in the State. A result from this test should be taken as a final result and we shall act accordingly with quarantine and isolation procedures. There is no need to go get another test to verify the Surveillance test result. The Surveillance test is not a screener, it is a highly sensitive PCR test for COVID. Presumptive positive or positive results indicate there is a viral load of COVID in the person who tested.
-I’ve been vaccinated, do I need to quarantine if I am exposed to a positive case?
If you are and remain asymptomatic and it has been at least two weeks since your second vaccination, you will not need to quarantine for at least 3 months.
Example:
1st vaccination: February 1
2nd vaccination: March 1
Quarantine is NOT required from March 15-June 1
Please report your exposure using the Staff Symptom Screener, for District-wide tracking purposes.
In partnership with California Health and Human Services, RCSD proudly offers COVID-19 surveillance testing for its asymptomatic employees on a once-a-week basis starting in March.
This testing is for RCSD Staff and on-site daycare agency staff only. Staff must register ONCE through the Color Platform and then test at their assigned site. Staff may not test at other sites without permission by the COVID Response Team. See your administrator or supervisor for details.
