updates on isolation

​

  • Once you test positive, isolation should begin immediately.  Regardless of vaccination status, isolate in your home or in a location where you have little-to-no contact with others for at least 5 days after symptoms first started or the first day after a positive test if no symptoms. 

  • Talk to a healthcare provider to learn if you qualify for COVID-19 Treatments

  • Notify individuals you were in close contact with have them test within 3-5 days of exposure using an antigen "rapid" test. 

  • Contact your employer and be prepared to provide your positive test. Your employer may have different return-to-work requirements based on your occupation. 

  • If you need to see a doctor, CALL for instructions. If symptoms have worsened after initial isolation period, please see a medical professional or call 9-1-1.
