MORE INFORMATION AND RESOURCES WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM CONFIRMED TO HAVE COVID-19?

Employees are asked to immediately notify their campus/department administrator of a positive test result. The district will work closely with the Nueces County Health Department to determine the appropriate notification of others who may have potentially been exposed to the virus. If an employee has been exposed to the virus, the employee will be sent home for a period of 14 days in adherence with health officials’ guidance for helping prevent the spread of the illness. The district will provide up to two weeks (80 hours) of emergency paid sick leave to full-time employees who are unable to work or telework due to a need for leave due to a COVID-19 related reason, in accordance with the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA).

In addition, employees are asked to submit the COVID-19 survey that is currently posted on the district’s Human Resources website.

For additional information, please contact the Office of Human Resources at 695-7250.

Please respect your co-workers’ privacy. It’s the right thing to do, and it’s the law! Please do not share health information, and definitely do not share rumors about positive COVID-19 tests. During these anxious times, we all appreciate a little extra kindness. If a coworker chooses to share health information, it’s certainly a good idea to support them while following CDC guidelines. Thank you!
