After returning indoors and before eating, use soap and water to wash skin that has been treated with insect repellent. Reapply repellent when re- turning outdoors or after eating. Outdoor workers may need to use sunscreen in conjunction with insect repellent. Products that combine sun- screen and repellent are not recom- mended because sunscreen may need to be reapplied more often and in larger amounts than needed for the repellent. The best option is to use separate products, applying sun- screen first and then applying the repellent. Sick Workers The general guidance for employers of workers with suspected or confirmed Zika includes: Drink fluids to prevent dehydration. Take medicine such as acetamino- phen to reduce fever and pain. Avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, or other non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs because of rare cases of bleeding occurring with these medications. Talk to a healthcare provider before taking any medications, including pre- scriptions for other medical conditions. To help prevent others from getting sick, avoid mosquito bites during the first week of infection. Clothing that covers skin and insect repellents can help prevent mosquito bites. Employers Should: Ensure supervisors and potentially exposed workers are aware of the symptoms of Zika. Train workers to seek medical evalu- ation if they develop symptoms of Zika. Assure prompt medical evaluation and follow-up after suspected exposure to Zika virus. Consider options for granting sick leave during the infectious period. CDC describes steps employers and employees can take to protect others during the first week of Zika virus illness.
