If you are ill, are exhibiting any of the following symptoms, or have been in close contact* with someone that tested positive for COVID19, please go home and call your union agent or point of contact to schedule a virtual meeting.
• Cough
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Fever
• Chills
• Muscle pain
• Sore throat
• New loss of taste or smell
• Other less common symptoms including gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.
*Guidelines from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention define “close contact” as anyone who has been within 6 feet of a person infected with a virus for a “prolonged period of time,” or being coughed or sneezed on by an infected person.
