How to Maintain a Healthy Workplace Through Efficient Employee COVID-19 Testing in Cape May County, NJ

COVID Testing for Employers Cape May County NJCOVID-19 is a highly infectious respiratory disease that’s spread primarily through the air when an infected person sneezes, coughs, or even talks in close proximity to another person—a scenario that’s repeated dozens of times a day in just about every job setting you can name. As COVID-19 began sweeping New Jersey and, indeed, the world, many employers quickly adapted their operations so that employees could work from home and thus eliminate or dramatically reduce their exposure to others. However, not all occupations can be adapted to virtual settings. First responders, for example, must interact daily with the public as well as emergency personnel. And schools that remain open for in-person instruction face their own challenges related to protecting employee health in the age of COVID-19.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that employers adopt policies to help slow the spread of COVID-19, and coronavirus testing is one of the key parts of the CDC’s recommended strategy for employers. Depending on each employer’s situation, those policies may include:

  • Testing only individuals who have displayed symptoms of COVID-19 or have been in close contact with someone who tested positive for the virus
  • Routine testing of employees in workplace settings where physical distancing is difficult or in jobs that call for close contact with co-workers or members of the public
  • Requiring a negative test result for infected workers before they can return to the workplace
