If an employee tests positive for covid-19, the entire workforce of the establishment is not necessarily placed in quarantine, or even tested. This may come as a surprise. But these isolation or screening measures are not always necessary. It all depends on the context, explains the director of the regional health agency (ARS). The fact of having physically seen an infected person is not the main and determining criterion.
If a person A is tested positive, the person B who was in the same room as A, will not be considered as a contact case "if the barrier gestures have been respected", indicates Valérie Denux. Indeed if the two people wore a mask, kept a certain distance and had no physical contact (kiss, handshake, etc.), then person B “has no reason to have been contaminated ”by A. On the other hand, if you are tested positive, your companion will be considered as a contact case, adds the director of the ARS.
Finally, with regard to the premises, Valérie Denux confirmed that “disinfecting the premises” is sufficient to fight against the virus and eliminate it from one room. (soualigapost.com)
