Feeling Sick?
If you are experiencing symptoms that could be related to COVID-19, consider getting tested.
- If you have tested positive or are showing symptoms, please follow isolation guidelines to prevent spreading the virus to others.
Exposure
If you have been exposed to COVID-19, begin taking precautions immediately. This includes wearing a high-quality mask for 10 full days after exposure. If you start experiencing symptoms, test immediately.
- Even if you are not showing symptoms, it is still important to get tested 5 full days from your last exposure. Testing too close to exposure can produce inaccurate results.
- If you test positive 5 full days after exposure, begin isolating and follow isolation guidelines.
- If you test negative 5 full days after exposure, continue taking precautions throughout day 10, including wearing a high-quality mask when around others indoors at home and in public.
Screening Testing
Certain high-risk settings require testing as a part of screening processes.
Consider testing before coming into contact with individuals at high-risk for severe COVID-19.
