As we learn more about COVID‑19, new information continues to be released by the CDC.&nbsp;On Monday, April&nbsp;27, 2020, the CDC updated its guidance on <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Symptoms of Coronavirus</a>.

contentpilot/introduction

The CDC is now saying that, “People with COVID‑19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness.”&nbsp;

core/paragraph

According to the CDC, these symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus:&nbsp;&nbsp;

core/list

The CDC also suggests an individual seek immediate medical attention if they experience:&nbsp;&nbsp;

The CDC points out that this list is not all inclusive, and you should consult with a medical provider if you have any other severe or concerning symptoms.&nbsp;

This guidance is not directly addressed to employers; however, employers that have screening protocols in place should consider updating their screening questions to include the new symptoms and ensure that employees with any of these symptoms stay home.&nbsp;For employers without screening protocols, Warner is available to help put those protocols in place.

Governor Whitmer’s recently issued <a href="https://www.michigan.gov/whitmer/0,9309,7-387-90499_90705-526894--,00.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Executive Order 2020-59</a> requires all businesses with in-person operations to, among other things, adopt “policies to prevent workers from entering the premises if they display respiratory symptoms or have had contact with a person with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID‑19.”&nbsp;The Governor’s order also requires employers with in-person operations to have a COVID‑19 Preparedness and Response Plan consistent with OSHA Guidance in place.&nbsp;

If you have any questions or would like assistance in developing the required protocols for in-person operations or a COVID‑19 Preparedness and Response Plan, please contact <a href="http://wnj.com/people/steven-a-palazzolo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steve Palazzolo</a>, <a href="http://wnj.com/people/andrea-j-bernard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Andrea Bernard</a>, <a href="http://wnj.com/people/dean-f-pacific" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dean Pacific</a> or any member of the Warner’s Labor and Employment Practice Group.
