This is a supplement to the above-referenced document, which is attached.

An employee who have been out of work due to contacting the Coronavirus (COVID-19), caring for a family member with that virus or being quarantined because of possible exposure to this virus, should take the following steps before returning to work:

  1. Obtain a note from their personal physician stating they can resume work and have no COVID-19 related health issues.
  2. The employee then makes an appointment with NJT Medical; when they arrive for their medical visit, they present their note from their personal physician attesting to the ability to resume work.
