96. Update: Protocols for Positive COVID-19 Test Result

Dear Faculty & Staff,

We want to let you know that a member of our SSIS community has tested positive for COVID-19 through PCR testing. Fortunately, this person feels fine and is not experiencing any health issues. They are asymptomatic and expected to remain so.

They have not been in contact with anyone in our community in recent weeks, and we are providing care, guidance, and support to them.

Although we hope that no other members of our community will have to experience receiving a positive COVID result, we would like to reassure you that we have protocols in place to support you if you are confirmed COVID-19 positive, i.e., F0.

What to Do If You Test Positive for COVID-19, i.e., “F0”

If you test positive for COVID-19, i.e., identified as an F0, you should contact your supervisor, the Health Office, or HR as soon as possible so that SSIS can support you.

Steps, If You Test Positive

1. Call International SOS (+84 28 3829 8520).
2. Call HR, your supervisor, or Lisa Chute from the Health Office.

SSIS Support for Faculty and Staff “F0”

1. The Health Office will open a case file with International SOS.
2. International SOS will contact you to answer questions about the quarantine, COVID testing, medical advice, follow-up.
3. One of our nurses will contact you daily to check on your status, offer support, and answer questions.

I understand that this is a challenging time in many different ways. That is why it is more important than ever that we support one another.

We will continue to keep you updated on officially released information. However, as always, If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

All good wishes,

Catriona
