Outreach
Individuals with COVID-19 can be infectious for several days before developing symptoms. Therefore, during outreach NCFHP recommends the following:
- Conduct virtual outreach when possible.
- If approved to do in-person outreach by your agency, do not enter camps or residences and explain to workers the need to physically distance outside.
- Do not transport any workers.
