COVID-19 Information for SLOCOE Employees

Updated 02/24/2023

Employee Health Protocols

All staff are expected to follow Public Health Guidelines and SLOCOE protocols as they continue to change over the course of the pandemic.

Perform a daily self-assessment before you come to work. Employees experiencing symptoms related to COVID, or other illness, should remain home, communicate with their supervisor and/or Human Resources, and test for COVID/contact healthcare provider for guidance.

• According to the CA Department of Public Health and CDC, people may choose to wear a mask at any time. Masks are recommended in indoor public transportation settings and may be required in other places by local or state authorities. Take action to protect yourself and others from COVID-19 based on the COVID-19 Community Level in your area. After March 11, 2022, the universal masking requirement for K-12 and Childcare settings has been terminated.
• SLOCOE continues to follow Cal OSHA COVID-19 Prevention Non-Emergency Regulations in the workplace.
• Employees are also advised to:
  • Practice regular hand washing – 20 seconds – when entering the building, regularly throughout the day, and before exiting.
  • Utilize the COVID-19 materials in your department or COVID-19 cart.
  • Maintain clutter free surfaces and workstations for efficient and regular cleaning and disinfecting.
  • Check in at the COVID-19 cart when entering the worksite for updates and announcements
