The following will help guide you through various scenarios and what to do if you are experiencing symptoms, recently traveled or have been exposed to COVID-19.
If a team member enters an incorrect response in the Survyio screening survey and does not have symptoms or an exposure:
- Proceed to work as scheduled
- Go through the paper screening process with the screeners at the appropriate entry point
- You do not need to call Occupational Health
Vaccinated with Exposure and/or Symptoms
Team members that have received both vaccinations, are more than 14 days post booster, and have been exposed to a COVID positive person no longer have to quarantine. They may work, continuing to mask, monitor, use good hand hygiene, wear face shield or goggles if they are patient facing, and when eating or drinking, must maintain proper social distance.
Team members with symptoms that have received both vaccines, and are more than 14 days post booster, must still complete the Survyio app correctly. Symptomatic team members still need to call Occupational Health, and may be sent for Covid testing.
Team members that are symptomatic should:
- During work hours (7:30-4:00) call your hospital Occupational Health. Lewiston 207-795-2830, Bridgton 207-647-6081, Rumford 207-369-1164
- After hours for all 3 hospitals call 207-577-6494
- Report symptoms, plan on not working if you have symptoms
- You will be referred to MUC in Topsham or Lewiston for a rapid test. If that test is negative, it will be sent out as a PCR. You will need to remain out of work until you have your test result
- If you do not want to go to MUC, other PCR testing options will be offered
- If you choose a MUC option, you will need to present your insurance card and photo ID
