In this photo, shoppers wait in line to pay for their purchases at a Walmart store in Los Angeles, California, on Nov. The company's old policy allowed up to two weeks of paid leave. Walmart's revised COVID-19 policy will now only provide one week of paid leave for employees who test positive for the virus or need to isolate. While Walmart's new policy shortens the time for paid isolation leave, workers who are sick can potentially receive up to 26 weeks of additional COVID-related pay, a company spokesperson told Reuters. People who have been vaccinated and gotten a booster aren't required to isolate after potential exposure, the CDC suggested. The CDC's guidelines above apply to vaccinated and unvaccinated people who have not received a booster. The CDC still recommends 10 days of isolation for symptomatic individuals who have been exposed to or tested positive for COVID-19. The CDC's new guidelines, released in late December, shorten the isolation period from 10 days to 5 days for asymptomatic people who have been exposed to or tested positive for COVID-19.
Walmart's old policy had given workers two weeks of paid leave, but the company recently revised its policy to be in line with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's ( CDC) newly shortened isolation and quarantine guidelines. Employees of retail giant Walmart will now receive one less week of paid leave under its revised COVID-19 policy.
