What is the name of your state? Missouri
A friend works for a private high school (actually, private but I believe receives funding...religious institution), and they are not informing staff/students about possible contact with positive students/staff. Is this not a requirement? Is this the job of the health department? I thought Contact Tracing was required by the school? I'm told the school is intentionally not tracing because they need the money from families/don't want to close and lose students, and they don't want the bad press. Thanks.
Also...on a separate note...if a staff member becomes sick on the job (linked to contact tracing) and has to be hospitalized/misses time or extended time from work, is the job guaranteed once patient is recovered? Is this a worker's comp situation?
Thanks
