Overseas

[Emma Trippe]

Dear Brainstrust ,

Firstly I hope you’re all surviving out there!!

This has happened twice in my organisation where family members (staff) have picked up their family member from the airport after being overseas ( & the travellers are expected to be in isolation for 14 days)
And the staff member has had close contact with them

I’ve asked the staff member not to come to work – but there doesn’t seem to be much in our govt literature about this?
Has anyone been in the same circumstance ,

Much appreciated Emma

Hi Emma

We have had lots of staff and patients in this situation, and our advice from our local public health unit is that unless they were exposed to symptomatic person why then has confirmed disease, or unless the person developed symptoms within 24 hours of the contact and then has confirmed disease, it is not considered exposure.

So, my rule is if they have not been contacted by public health about being a known close contact there is no considered risk to them.

Cheers
Michael

Hi Michael,

Maybe the college could contact the DoH COVID team & tell them to make that
clear, i.e. BIG print. There is a lot of confusion about household contact
for non-sick travellers. I’m in home quarantine after coming back from NZ,
alive & well. My kids thought they had to move out! I found one small piece
of advice on the traveller website (small print) that household contacts of
well returned travellers were not quarantined. I have raised it with the
DoH.

Cheers

Karen
