 RETURN TO WORK: INTERIM GUIDE
FOR PERSONS UNDER MONITORING (PUM),
PERSONS UNDER INVESTIGATIONS (PUI), AND
CONFIRMED COVID-19 PATIENTS

This part 2 interim guidelines is compiled and written with the intention to help our doctors in
their recommendation for employees and companies on return to work.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

1. Person under Monitoring (PUM) is a person who is asymptomatic with any of the
following:

a. Travel history in the last 14 days to countries with local transmission and high risk of
importation of COVID-19; or

b. History of exposure to a known confirmed COVID-19 case within 14 days.

History of exposure means:

1. Providing direct care without proper PPE to confirmed COVID-19;

2. Staying in the same close environment (including workplace, classroom, household,

gatherings);

3. Traveling together in close proximity (1 meter or 3 feet) in any kind of conveyance.

2. Patient under Investigation (PUI) is a patient:

a. who has fever and/or respiratory illness (e.g. cough or shortness of breath) and/or
diarrhea, with any of the following:

1. Travel history in the last 14 days to countries with local transmission of

COVID-19; or

2. Has exposure from a known confirmed COVID-19 case; OR

b. With severe acute respiratory infection or atypical pneumonia AND requiring

hospitalization AND with no other etiology to fully explain the clinical presentation,
regardless of exposure history; OR

c. With severe acute respiratory infection or atypical pneumonia AND residing or

working where there is clustering of influenza-like illness (ILI) cases.

3. COVID-19 positive is a patient under investigation (PUI) with laboratory confirmation of

COVID-19 infection, irrespective of clinical signs and symptoms.

4. Home Quarantine
a. Any person, regardless of nationality, race and age, who does not exhibit any sign nor
symptom, has history of travel to other areas of China and/or history of exposure to a
confirmed case of COVID-19, within the past 14 days, shall be required to undergo
monitored home quarantine.

b. Any person, regardless of nationality, race and age, who exhibits fever or any symptom
of lower respiratory illness, and has a history of travel to other countries with a

Philippine College of Occupational Medicine, Inc. Page 4 of 30

 confirmed case of COVID-19 but without any history of exposure , shall be advised to
undergo monitored home quarantine.

Isolation:

a. PUM should be alone in a well-ventilated room, preferably with a toilet and bathroom. If
not possible, maintain a distance of at least 1 meter from PUM

b. Sleep in a separate bed

c. Assign one person in good health as caretaker

d. No visitor allowed in the room

e. Confine activities of PUM in one room only. If not possible, ensure shared space like
kitchen, toilet etc. is well ventilated (open windows)

f. No sharing of items like towels, bed linens, eating utensils, dishes and other personal
items.

Restrictions:

Prohibited to leave their room/homes where they are quarantined until they have been
certified by the local health official to have finished the 14-day requirement for
quarantine procedures

Reporting:

Initial coordination should be done with the Local Government Epidemiologic

Surveillance Unit on the logistical, administrative and clinical parameters to be
standardized in any attempt to refer a PUM for transfer or consultation.

5. Self-monitoring means PUM should monitor themselves for fever by taking their
temperature twice a day and remain alert for respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness
of breath, sore throat etc). Anyone on self-monitoring should be provided a plan for whom
to contact if they develop fever or respiratory symptoms during the self-monitoring period
to determine whether medical evaluation is needed.

6. Active monitoring means that the local public health authority assumes responsibility for
establishing regular communication with potentially exposed people to assess for the
presence of fever or respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of breath, sore throat
etc.)

7. Close contact for healthcare exposures is defined as follows:

a) being within approximately 6 feet (2 meters), of a person with COVID-19 for a prolonged
period of time (such as caring for or visiting the patient; or sitting within 6 feet of the
patient in a healthcare waiting area or room); or

b) having unprotected direct contact with infectious secretions or excretions of the patient
(e.g., being coughed on, touching used tissues with a bare hand).

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19 INFECTION

The reported symptoms are mainly fever and dry cough. Other commonly reported symptoms
are breathing problems, runny or blocked nose, sore throat, headache, nausea, muscle and
joint pain. New reports suggest patients experiencing loss of sense of taste and smell. Most of
those infected get mild symptoms that can be managed at home. Some people become
severely ill with breathing difficulties and pneumonia.

DETECTION OF PUM, PUI, AND CONFIRMED COVID-19 CASES

1. Ports of Entry

Officials of points of entry shall ensure proper examination and investigation of

documents for history of travel to countries with confirmed COVID-19 cases and
implement mandated travel restrictions and refer individuals requiring further
investigation.

The staff of the Bureau of Quarantine shall perform clinical examination of identified
and/or referred individuals for appropriate case classification and disposition.

2. Health Facilities

All health facilities shall inquire for travel histories to COVID-19 affected countries
among consultations presenting with fever, cough, colds, and other respiratory
conditions. For patients with no history of travel or exposure but presenting with severe
acute respiratory infection or atypical pneumonia shall be treated with high index of
suspicion. They shall be guided by the set case definitions for the proper classification
of these consultations.

3. Local Health Office

All Local Health Offices shall ensure proper coordination with the public and private
facilities including civil society organizations, professional societies, and academic
institutions in the community on raising community awareness on COVID-19. The
officials of these offices and institutions shall implement the following activities:

LEAVE OF ABSENCES/ ENTITLEMENTS

According to the Labor Advisory No. 4 Series of 2020 for workers who are requested by their
employers to stay at home or who are served quarantine order for reasons related to 2019-
nCoV, the following arrangements may be considered during the period of absence:

1. Worker’s leave of absence may be charged to their annual sick/vacation leave credits under
the company policy or practice or as stipulated in their collective bargaining agreement, if
there are any. If the worker’s leave have been used up, employers could consider granting
leave of absence without pay. However, employers are encouraged to exercise flexibility
and compassion on granting additional leave with pay.

2. By mutual agreement, employers and workers could also agree on other arrangements for
the worker’s leave of absence.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATION

According to the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM) standard surgical masks are as
effective as respirator masks (ex. N95 FFP2, FFP3) for preventing infection of healthcare
workers in the outbreak of viral respiratory illnesses such as influenza. However, there is no
direct evidence from COVID-19 outbreaks.

In settings where face masks are not available, employees or healthcare workers might use
homemade masks (e.g., bandana, scarf) for care of patients with COVID-19 as a last resort.
However, homemade masks are not considered PPE, since their capability to protect is
unknown. Caution should be exercised when considering this option. Homemade masks
should ideally be used in combination with a face shield that covers the entire front (that
extends to the chin or below) and sides of the face. (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-
ncov/hcp/ppe-strategy/face-masks.html)

April 2, 2020, the Inter-Agency Task Force on Infectious Diseases said it is now mandatory for
individuals leaving their residences for whatever reason to wear any type of face mask (face
masks, ear-loop masks, indigenous, reusable or do-it-yourself masks, face shields, and
handkerchiefs) while the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine is in effect due to the
coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis to help prevent the further spread of the respiratory
disease.
