CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) AND INFECTIOUS DISEASE ADDENDUM
We believe in the importance of practicing everyday preventive actions that can help prevent the spread of
respiratory illnesses and infectious diseases, such as the novel coronavirus that leads to COVID-19. We
expect our household, including Provider, to adhere to the following infectious disease protocol and
preventative actions.
SYMPTOMS: Notify the Family immediately if you or anyone in your household experience symptoms of
COVID-19 (i.e., fever, cough, shortness of breath, chills, fatigue, loss of taste or smell, etc.) and stay home.
Cover all coughs and sneezes with a tissue.
CONTACT WITH SICK PERSONS: Avoid contact with people who are sick. Notify the Family
immediately in close contact with a sick person is unavoidable, needed, or occurs by accident.
Communicate with the family about levels of risk and permitted activity.
STAY AT HOME ORDERS: Follow state mandated stay-at-home orders. Stay home when you are sick,
except to get medical care. If outside for physical activity stay at least six feet away from others, avoid
travel, and avoid crowds. In the event that stay-at-home orders are lifted, communicate with the family
about levels of risk and permitted activity.
MASK WEARING: Follow guidelines of the Center for Disease Control. Wear a face covering when in
public settings where one cannot maintain six feet of distance from others.
HAND WASHING: Wash hands upon entering the Family household. Wash hands often with soap and
water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your
nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at
least 60% alcohol.
SURFACES: Clean frequently touched surfaces and objects (e.g., tables, countertops, light switches,
doorknobs, and cabinet handles) using a regular household detergent and water.
FFCRA: The Family understands the Families First Coronavirus Response Act provides paid sick leave or
expanded family and medical leave for specified reasons related to COVID-19. The Act includes two
weeks (up to 80 hours) of paid sick leave at the employee’s regular rate of pay where the employee is
unable to work because the employee is quarantined (pursuant to Federal, State, or local government order
or advice of a healthcare provider), and/or experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and seeking a medical
diagnosis; or two weeks (up to 80 hours) of paid sick leave at two-thirds the employee’s regular rate of pay
because the employee is unable to work because of a bona fide need to care for an individual subject to
quarantine (pursuant to Federal, State, or local government order or advice of a healthcare provider), or
care for a child (under 18 years of age) whose school or child care provider is closed or unavailable for
reasons related to COVID-19, and/or the employee is experiencing a substantially similar condition as
specified by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in consultation with the Secretaries of the
Treasury and Labor.
VACCINATION: When recommended by the Family, Provider shall obtain current vaccination and boosters
for COVID-19 in accordance with CDC guidelines. Vaccination status and recommendations for vaccination
(of both Family and Provider) will be discussed before employment with the Family begins.
