Summary • This document provides updated guidance on healthcare personnel (HCP) returning to work after a COVID-19 exposure or travel outside of New York State or its contiguous states. • The information contained herein supersedes any previous guidance related to HCP returning to work after COVID-19 exposure or travel. • HCP at nursing homes or adult care facilities certified as Enhanced Assisted Living Residences (EALR) or licensed as Assisted Living Programs (ALP) should note additional requirements listed for them below. • This guidance aligns with the December 2, 2020 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance. • This guidance does not apply to HCP who are known or suspected of having COVID-19 who are in isolation; requirements for the discontinuation of isolation should be followed for these individuals.
