May 13, 2022: COVID-19 Era Policies and Procedures and Arrival Health Screen documents updated

The CDC released new guidelines for what is considered “up to date” on COVID-19 vaccinations on May 6, 2022. This revision aligns the language used at Riverside with the language used by the CDC. Functionally, most of the procedures remain unchanged or only slightly changed.

Summary of changes:

• Reorganization and updating to align vaccination statuses with the new “up to date” terms updated by the CDC on May 6, 2022;

• Policies for potentially excluding people who have close contact risks has been updated:

  • Potential exclusion time changed from “on or after day 5” to “on or after day 6.” This aligns with the CDC guidelines. Either the guidelines changed at some point, or we previously misunderstood the guidelines;

  • Exception to the close contact exclusion policy for “recently recovered [from COVID-19]” persons has been added;

This revision will go into effect on May 14, 2022.
