COVID Exposure and WSIB

If you are self-isolating due to an exposure incident, you can report this exposure to WSIB. It you do end up contracting COVID-19, WSIB will be able to process your claim more quickly.

• If you believe you were exposed to COVID-19 while at work, but you are not ill at this time (you do not have a diagnosis or symptoms of COVID-19), please do not file a claim. Instead, you can report an exposure incident at wsib.ca/report. Reporting your exposure is voluntary, but if you become ill in the future, we’ll be able to process your claim faster.

• If you contracted COVID-19 while at work (you have a diagnosis or symptoms of COVID-19), you should tell your employer about your illness and any medical treatment you received right away. You may file a claim at wsib.ca/en/businesses/claims/report-injury-or-illness to determine if you are eligible for WSIB coverage.

For more information, visit WSIB’s website at wsib.ca.
