Types of Tests for COVID-19 and Potential Uses
![Page 11: Return-to-Work Town Hall: Part 4 - Atrium Health · Return-to-Work Town Hall: Part 4. June 3, 2020. RUTH KRYSTOPOLSKI, MBA. Senior Vice President, Population Health.

Diagnostic Testing Criteria Updates
• Fever
• New cough
• New shortness of breath
• Sore throat
• Persistent headache
• New loss of taste or smell
• Chills
• Muscle aches
Symptomatic Testing
• Close contacts of known positive cases
• Household contact
• Workplace
• Community
• Close contact = exposure for 15 continuous minutes in the absence of appropriate PPE
Asymptomatic Testing
![Page 12: Return-to-Work Town Hall: Part 4 - Atrium Health · Return-to-Work Town Hall: Part 4. June 3, 2020. RUTH KRYSTOPOLSKI, MBA. Senior Vice President, Population Health.

Ensure Diagnostic Testing Access
• Persons who live in or have regular contact with high risk settings (e.g.: LTC, homeless, jail, etc.)
• Persons at high risk of severe illness (ages >65 or have underlying health conditions)
• Healthcare workers/First responders
• Front line and essential workers in settings where social distancing is difficult to maintain

Statistics Lesson (and why that matters)

Currently Available Antibody Tests
• Initially no oversight though recently FDA has pulled back many
• Some available for use under EUA

SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Testing
• Looks for antibodies that the body creates to fight an infection
• IgM antibodies are “early” responders (~7-10 days)
• IgG antibodies are “late responders” (>3-4 weeks) • Presence of adequate levels of IgG
antibodies can indicate immunity for some infectious diseases
• Duration of immunity can vary by type of infectious disease

Limited data to date on what a positive antibody test means
• Are the antibodies present “neutralizing”?
• Are antibody levels high enough so that the individual is protected?
• Do those high antibody levels provide prolonged protection?
• Can you have antibodies AND still have the ability to transmit infection?
Potential Pitfalls of Antibody Testing

Minimizing False Positive Antibody Results• Highly specific test
• Test populations with a higher likelihood of having positive results
• Prior illness suggestive
• High risk for prior exposure
• Healthcare workers
• First responders
• Household contacts

Lessons Learned from Worksite Exposures We’ve Supported
From a young age we’ve all heard, “It’s better to be safe than sorry.” Have you seen instances with worksite exposures when an employer took an overly cautious approach (beyond what’s recommended)? If so, what were the potential consequences of those actions?
With most worksite exposures you’ve known, did the employer have an existing plan in place to address sick workers and continuity of operations? Is having a plan important?
01
02
What are some of the most frequently asked questions you get from employers when they first reach out following an exposure? What answers did you provide for their questions that have been more general in nature?
03

After a worksite exposure occurs and immediate needs are addressed, what safeguards do you typically recommend to employers to reduce their chances of another exposure?
07
What are some of the common themes you’ve seen across exposures?
What are the top 3-5 things that could have been done to avoid these worksite exposures?05
What is the one thing most employers seem to do well after an exposure occurs?06
