[QUOTE="MattM, post: 4431684, member: 53192"] For our building, the person who was infected had to make a list of who he/she was in closest contact with the days or weeks prior. They were then told by UPS higher ups/health department officials to have a mandated quarantine. How that list is only 7-8 people is beyond me. I've interacted closely with a few of those just last week. Now if I wanted to quarantine, it would either be totally unpaid (if I had no PTO), or I'd have to use my own PTO. And only if I get a positive result will I get those days back. So your building is doing it wrong, or differently. It shouldn't be up to the worker to come forward. They should already have a list. One has to put up quite a fight to get the mandated quarantine. They want us to use self quarantine. In theory, it should all be closed down. One person likely infected at least 2 of the others who came into close contact with the first guy. But I don't believe they are being tested for the virus. Only if symptoms get worse will they go after more people to quarantine, which I'd fall into that group. By that time, it'll be three weeks since the first contact and I may have been had the virus run through me already. It's just a ticking time bomb. [/QUOTE]
