In short, one could look at how closely they had to work with the infected person. Doing an employer-level factual investigation would be helpful. For example: how closely did they work together, did they share surfaces/paperwork, what safety protocols were in place and were the protocols followed? Also, did they work the same shifts? Did they work different shifts? Was there a well-documented outbreak in their residential neighborhoods? Were their family members sick before they caught the virus?
We have a whole list of questions one can ask to help the investigation. If you are interested in our investigation strategies, please feel free to contact us. Our discovery strategies tend to vary by the individual facts of each case, so it’s a little difficult to lay them all out here.
