If you are sick, we ask that you let your manager know and stay in the comfort of your own home until you are feeling better. Persons with cold or flu-like symptoms are most contagious during the first three days. Staying home will allow you time to rest, rejuvenate, and help stop virus spread among your co-workers.  

Also, if you are at work and become ill during the day, it is important to let a supervisor know and promptly head home to rest until you are feeling well again. No one should be at work when they are sick. It is recommended that individuals contact their physician if cold or flu-like symptoms escalate quickly or persist more than a few days.
