COVID UPDATES

COVID Vaccine Update

• With the updated guidance from IDPH, Covid-19 vaccinations are no longer mandatory. Staying up to date with required vaccines and boosters is, however, highly recommended as a component of infection prevention. With this in mind, effective 6/1/2023 Misericordia will no longer mandate employees and volunteers to be up to date with Covid-19 vaccinations and boosters. Please do consider maintaining your status and if you need assistance obtaining a vaccine or a booster, please work with your supervisor. 

Revised Practices for Hazard Pay and Protected Pay

• This is a reminder that effective June 1, 2023, hazard pay and protected pay will no longer be in effect. If you have a confirmed case of Covid and are absent as a result, this absence will be excused with documentation provided. Benefit time will be applied to cover the days missed if the employee has the benefit time available. Please see your AVP if you have any questions.

Mask Usage

• Effective June 1, 2023, well-fitted masks are required of all employees and visitors in McAuley. 

• All other areas on campus will be mask optional unless the risk is high based on: 
• Covid-19 activity within a specific cohort;
• Covid-19 activity within the extended Misericordia Community;
• and CDC assessment of Covid-19 Hospitalizations. 

Please ask your supervisor if you have questions.
