How will my workplace/business/organization be notified if an employee, student or someone

else connected tested positive for COVID-19? (COVID-19 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Thurston County Public Health and Social Services Department (updated 3/21/20)

Because of Washington State legal requirements for confidentiality, Public Health does not notify an

employer, business, or organization if there is a confirmed case of any infectious disease reported to us,

including COVID-19.

The process Public Health follows is:

• If a case is laboratory confirmed, the lab will notify Public Health's Disease Control and Prevention staff.

• Public Health contacts the confirmed COVID-19 individual and works with them to identify anyone they came in close contact (defined below) with. Public Health then contacts each of those individuals to notify them of potential exposure.

• Public Health asks the confirmed COVID-19 individual to notify their employer, if they are in the

  Workforce, and notify Public Health when that has been done.

   

• If the workplace is a school, Public Health staff will then work with the school to identify close contacts and determine next steps for the school.

• If the workplace is an agency or organization, the agency or organization often contacts Public Health and works with us to determine next steps and to notify other employees or others who may have come in close contact.
