Guidelines for symptom monitoring and management of workers for SARS-CoV2 infection
What is new in this version?
1. An update on the key symptoms, based on the updated NICD guidelines. It should be noted that at least 20% of infections are asymptomatic.
2. Rapid antigen testing has increased in use, and in view of this, this revision comments on its use in the workplace.
3. While vaccination may influence the clinical presentation of the illness among workers, at this point in time, there does not appear to be any strong evidence to change the current isolation and quarantine periods. DOWNLOAD HERE
