ROSEVILLE (CBS13) – The Placer County Health Officer is asking employers to perform negative logical tests for staff returning from coronaviruses.
For what? Whether it’s wasting the evidence, she says.
Dr. Aimee Sisson says any requirements along those lines are “unnecessary” and an “inappropriate use of limited resources.”
Sisson added that while an employee who had COVID-1nine is healthy and quarantined for an appropriate period, it is up to him to return to work.
The fitness worker’s comments come after a shortage of verification kits forced several local verification sites to close temporarily. Dr. Sisson told CBS13 in a later interview that Placer County had seen delays and shortages of checks.
Placer County is one of dozens of other Americans recently on the state watch list, an increase in coronavirus cases.
People who take a loose coronavirus test, offline with their insurance, in Placer can visit the county website and search for the nearest location.
