Safe HAYVN Health & Safety Response

HAYVN Covid Policy Updates

(May 13, 2022)

Update based on CDC and State guidance:

As of 5/6/22, Fairfield County, Connecticut is categorized as a Medium – Yellow category as part of the CDC’s COVID-19 Community Levels framework. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/community-levels.html

The CDC recommends that residents living or working in a Medium – Yellow category community stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines, speak with their healthcare providers about the need to wear a mask, and get tested if they have symptoms.

HAYVN follows CDC guidance, which states that “[a]t all levels, people can wear a mask based on personal preference, informed by personal level of risk. People with symptoms, a positive test, or exposure to someone with COVID-19 should wear a mask.”

Please note that we continue to ask that members and guests who have symptoms or test positive for the virus to refrain from entering the workspace and to follow CDC guidance for self-isolation or quarantine. See https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/quarantine-isolation.html#

HAYVN’s Safe Workplace Recommendations

Regularly Wash Your Hands: It is recommended that all visitors wash their hands upon entry into the workspace. The CDC recommends washing your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
Wipe Work Surfaces Regularly: HAYVN recommends that members bring in their own supply of disposable wipes to clean the surfaces in their private offices.
Stay Home: HAYVN members who are feeling sick or live with someone who is sick, whether diagnosed with COVID-19 or not, are advised to stay at home.
Self-isolate at your residence if you test positive or experience common symptoms.
Quarantine yourself if you have been in close contact with someone who tests positive or has COVID symptoms for the recommended timeframe.
Travel: HAYVN members who travel out of country are asked to follow CDC protocols when re-entering the United States.
