    Health care workers who test positive for COVID-19 must isolate for 7 days if asymptomatic or if they have mild symptoms. Those with moderate or severe symptoms must isolate for 7 days or until symptoms resolve, whichever is longer. After isolation, workers must test negative on an RT-PCR test before returning to duty. If the initial test is positive, they must continue isolating and repeat the test every 3 days until it is negative. Hospital authorities may reduce isolation to 5 days if there is a severe shortage of providers.
