from City Manager Dominick Casey
At the March 5 Department Head meeting, we discussed many items related to the COVID-19 virus, including continuity of operations, communications, increased cleaning frequencies, and City policies. This is a dynamic situation and we remain in close contact with the Placer County Department of Health and Human Services and are monitoring CDC updates to coordinate actions and response.
One of the items we discussed was a concern some staff members have about their colleagues who are traveling to or returning from impacted areas outside of the United States. The City of Roseville continues to follow CDC guidelines as it relates to mandatory quarantine.
If travelers are cleared for entry without quarantine into the United States, then they are also cleared to return to their jobs. However, if staff members who have been traveling wish to stay home longer after their return, they can check with their supervisor who has the ability to authorize the use of vacation, CTO, personal leave or management leave time to extend their period of absence.
This is an unpredictable situation that we’re dealing with, and we will continue to share relevant updates and adjust as the situation and information dictates. Please be assured that City Leadership is quickly evaluating the information being received and has our City staff and community wellness as a top priority.
