The CDC has changed the guidelines for Healthcare personnel experiencing influenza or influenza-like illnesses. Students in health science majors in clinical rotations should follow these new guidelines when ill:
“Healthcare personnel who develop a fever and respiratory symptoms should promptly notify their supervisors and be instructed not to work. Ill healthcare personnel should stay home from work for at least 24 hours after they no longer have fever, without the use of fever reducing medicines. If healthcare personnel are returning to work in areas where severely immunocompromised patients are provided care, they should be considered for temporary reassignment or exclusion for work for 7 days from symptom onset or 24 hours after the resolution of symptoms, whichever is longer.”
