The safety of TotalMed travelers is our top priority. Due to the current Omicron surge and the continued COVID-19 threat, TotalMed is providing instructions on what you should do in the event of exposure.

  • First and foremost, read our COVID-19 Exposures Flyer.
  • Notify your facility and follow facility protocol for the exposure. 
  • Get tested and treated ASAP. The surge is causing a lack of testing resources, so you’ll want to get in line for testing as soon as you can. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has made it easy to find a testing site near you.
  • Notify TotalMed at HRTrav@totalmed.com. This is your go-to resource for any questions you may have, and it’s the fastest way to communicate.

Use TotalMed’s Resources
