Employee Health Symptoms Survey
This survey is only for Valley employees with new symptoms or a COVID+.
If you develop symptoms of COVID-19 and your symptoms require testing per the Fit for Duty guidelines (link), please seek rapid antigen testing and follow your department’s process for calling out sick as needed. A rapid antigen test is now the preferred method of testing for COVID-19. Since those results are available in 15 minutes or less. Positive tests should still be reported to Employee Health by emailing a photo of the test result to employee_health@valleymed.org; they will communicate with you about when you are cleared to return to work. Employee Health is open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4:30 PM, apart from VMC’s recognized holidays.
With a negative antigen test you can return to work if you meet the following criteria:
- Fever free for 24 hours without the use of medicines
- No uncontrolled cough
- No uncontrolled nasal secretions
- No active vomiting or diarrhea
