Information for employers
The information on this page is for non-health care related Vermont businesses and employers.
The Health Department cannot help businesses set up their own weekly testing. Employees can use testing sites found on our testing page.
If multiple employees have COVID-19 and you would like to consult with someone from the Health Department please call 802-863-7240.
The Health Department does not recommend requiring proof of a negative test before allowing a close contact or a recovered person to return to work. People with COVID-19 can continue to test positive long after they’ve recovered and are no longer contagious. Instead, refer to the isolation guidance to know when it’s safe for an employee with COVID-19 to return to work.
The Health Department does not provide letters for employees to return to work or to be excused from work.
