I AM FOOT FOOT

TBH, I probably don't completely understand a lot of the rules my business may be subject to. A lot of the stuff doesn't apply to employers with less than 50 employees....some does. I just try to use common sense. When/If that isn't good enough for somebody, they can have the frikken keys. The government sure isn't proactive in providing guidance and I gave up worrying about it long ago.

FWIW we just wrapped up a monthly conference call and our head of HR/VP of legal said we have one confirmed case in the company, but didn't give details of where they work or who they are (we're pretty national). But, they did say they will be contacting any colleagues that may have been in contact with that person.

I am privy to certain health issues with employees due to our health insurance benefit.  However, I could get sued if I told someone else that information.  What I don't know is, how does that change if the health issue puts has put other employees at risk.  I still don't think I can tell the employees without consent from the sick individual.  And...for my benefit, that better be in writing.  Now, the health care provider/DHHS should be doing an investigation as to who the employee came in contact with, for which THEY would then notify the coworkers.
