“Today, an ONRR employee was notified that they may have been exposed during a trip, which ended 12 days ago. The employee has no confirmed exposure, no confirmed symptoms, and no confirmed infection. As a medical professional, I believe the risk to the employee is low and the risk to the office is extremely low, if not unlikely. I am reassured that the employee has not become symptomatic and is almost at the end of the recommended 14-day self-monitoring period. As an added precaution, the Interior Department’s Office of Occupational Safety & Health supports Denver ONRR’s decision to take additional steps to ensure the health of the one building and provide employees with the option to telework for the remainder of the week. We continue to coordinate with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the DOI Office of Emergency Management (OEM) as we take precautions against any possible exposure.”
