PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE PLAN
DEFINITIONS
Symptoms of COVID-19Infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can cause illness ranging from mild to severe and, in some cases, can be fatal. Symptoms typically include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Some people infected with the virus have reported experiencing other non-respiratory symptoms. Other people, referred to as asymptomatic cases, have experienced no symptoms at all.
According to the CDC, symptoms of COVID-19 may appear in as few as 2 days or as long as 14 days after exposure.
How COVID-19 SpreadsAlthough the first human cases of COVID-19 likely resulted from exposure to infected animals, infected people can spread SARS-CoV-2 to other people.
The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person, including:
Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.
It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has SARS-CoV-2 on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the primary way the virus spreads.
People are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic (i.e., experiencing fever, cough, and/or shortness of breath). Some spread might be possible before people show symptoms; there have been reports of this type of asymptomatic transmission with this new coronavirus, but this is also not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
Although the United States has implemented public health measures to limit the spread of the virus, it is likely that some person-to-person transmission will continue to occur.
The CDC website provides the latest information about COVID-19 transmission: www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/transmission.html.
Assessment as Lower Exposure Risk (Caution)As steps will be taken to provide means to its customers for non-contact shopping, Campus Den is assessed as having a lower exposure risk (caution). Campus Den will not require contact with people known to be, or suspected of being, infected with SARS-CoV-2 nor frequent close contact with (i.e., within 6 feet of) the general public. Workers in this category have minimal occupational contact with the public and other coworkers.
INFECTION CONTROL
Campus Den has implemented good hygiene and infection control practices, including:
- Promoting frequent and thorough hand washing, including by providing workers, customers, and worksite visitors with a place to wash their hands. If soap and running water are not immediately available, Campus Den will provide alcohol-based hand rubs containing at least 60% alcohol.
- Encouraging workers to stay home if they are sick.
- Encouraging respiratory etiquette, including covering coughs and sneezes.
- Provide customers and the public with tissues and trash receptacles.
- Allowing, as position and necessity dictates, flexible worksites (e.g., telecommuting) and flexible work hours (e.g., staggered shifts), to increase the physical distance among employees and between employees and others if state and local health authorities recommend the use of social distancing strategies.
- Discouraging workers from using other workers’ phones, desks, offices, or other work tools and equipment, when possible.
- Maintaining regular housekeeping practices, including routine cleaning and disinfecting of surfaces, equipment, and other elements of the work environment. Campus Den will employ the use of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved disinfectant labels with claims against emerging viral pathogens and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use of all cleaning and disinfection products (e.g., concentration, application method and contact time, PPE).
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Campus Den will provide, encourage, enforce, and train its employees on the use of PPE to help prevent some exposures.
Examples of PPE include: gloves, goggles, face shields, face masks, and respiratory protection, when appropriate.
All types of PPE will be:
- Selected based upon the hazard to the worker.
- Properly fitted and periodically refitted, as applicable (e.g., respirators).
- Consistently and properly worn when required.
- Regularly inspected, maintained, and replaced, as necessary.
- Properly removed, cleaned, and stored or disposed of, as applicable, to avoid contamination of self, others, or the environment.
IDENTIFICATION AND ISOLATION OF SUSPECTED OR CONFIRMED COVID-19 CASES
Prompt identification and isolation of potentially infectious individuals is a critical step in protecting workers, customers, visitors, and others at a worksite. As such Campus Den will:
- Encourage its employees to self-monitor for signs and symptoms of COVID-19 if they suspect possible exposure.
- Require that, should an employee fall sick or begin experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, the employee must report this information immediately to a designated worksite supervisor and Human Resources representative.
- Require that employees who begin experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 while on the worksite be isolated to a room with closing doors until they can be retrieved from the worksite in the event that the employee is unable to extricate themselves of their own accord.
- Restrict the number of personnel entering isolation rooms.
- Protect workers in close contact with (i.e., within 6 feet of) a sick person or who have prolonged/repeated contact with such persons by using additional engineering and administrative controls, safe work practices, and PPE.
- In the event that the incident results in a confirmed case of COVID-19, notify both the local public health department and any co-workers, contractors, suppliers, or customers who may have come into contact with the person with a confirmed case of COVID-19 within 24 hours.
WORKPLACE FLEXIBILITIES
In an effort to protect its employees Campus Den will:
- Actively encourage sick employees to stay home.
- Adjust sick leave policies to be flexible and consistent with public health guidance and that employees are aware of these policies.
- Not require a healthcare provider’s note for employees who are sick with acute respiratory illness to validate their illness or to return to work, as healthcare provider offices and medical facilities may be extremely busy and not able to provide such documentation in a timely way.
- Maintain flexible policies that permit employees to stay home to care for a sick family member.
REPORTING ON UNSAFE WORKING CONDITIONS
Should an employee of Campus Den identify any aspect of its working conditions as being unsafe, it is encouraged and required that the conditions be reported immediately to a designated worksite supervisor and Human Resources representative.
ANTI-RETALIATION
Under Executive Order 2020-36, and any executive orders that follow it, Campus Den will prohibit discharging, disciplining, or otherwise retaliating against employees who stay home or who leave work when they are at particular risk of infecting others with COVID-19.
WORKSITE SUPERVISOR DESIGNATIONS
The persons listed below have been designated to implement, monitor, and report on the COVID-19 control strategies developed under Executive Order No. 2020-91 subsection 1(a). Those designated will, in accordance with flexible and rotating shift polices, remain on-site at all times when employees are present on site. As necessary, an on-site employee may alternatively be designated to perform the supervisory role.
