In case of illness

Last updated: 22 July 2020

Anyone with a suspected or confirmed COVID-19 infection must stay at home after the symptoms subside, for the period indicated by their general practitioner or the CERN Medical Service, whichever is longer - but at least 13 days from the date of the first symptoms, including at least 3 days without symptoms.

Anyone confirmed with COVID-19 that has spent time at CERN in the 14 days before the appearance of the first symptoms, will be followed-up for contact tracing purposes.
