Revised FAQs Include How to Handle Vaccinated Employees Exposed to COVID-19
Yesterday, California’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health updated its FAQ post on the COVID-19 Emergency Testing Standards, applying Executive Order N-84-20 and the new California Department of Public Health COVID-19 Public Health Recommendations for Fully Vaccinated Individuals. These revisions and additions to the FAQ clearly establish that employers do not need to exclude fully vaccinated employees from the workplace if they are exposed to COVID-19, as long as they remain asymptomatic.
The revisions also clarify that a 10-day quarantine period and exclusion from work applies when an unvaccinated employee is exposed to COVID-19; however a 14-day period is still recommended. The FAQ provide further support and a valid business reason for employers to ask about employees’ vaccination status, which the DFEH and EEOC have already advised is permissible.

The Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) has approved new test methods for measuring levels of lactose in milk and milk products being sold in the market.
The new guidelines are among 35 food standards, test methods, codes of practice and guidelines approved by the National Standards Council to strengthen food safety and quality.
“Food standards ensure food quality and safety to final consumers throughout the supply chain, from preparation of raw materials, production and distribution to the market,” said Kebs Managing Director Bernard Njiraini.
“Lactose is the most abundant type of sugar or carbohydrate in milk products that can be difficult for some people to digest.”
