COVID-19 FAQs

Who should get tested?
1. People who have symptoms of COVID-19

2.  People who have come into close contact with someone with COVID-19 should be tested to check for infection:
     a. People who are up-to-date on their COVID-19 vaccines should wear a mask for 10 days after last exposure to COVID-19 and should be tested five days after last exposure.
     b. People who are not up-to-date on their vaccinations should quarantine for five days after last exposure to COVID-19 and should be tested on day five. If negative, the person should were a mask around others for an additional five days.

Close contact is defined as:
1. Someone who was within six feet of a person with laboratory-confirmed or clinically diagnosed COVID-19 for 15 minutes or more within a 24-hour period.
     a. For example, three individual 5-minute exposures for a total of 15 minutes.

2. A person with COVID-19 can spread SARS-CoV-2 starting from two days before they have any symptoms (or, for asymptomatic people, 2 days before the positive specimen collection date) until they meet criteria to be released from isolation

     a. Example 1: You spend time with a person (less than 6 feet for 15 minute or more) on Saturday. If the COVID-19 positive person started having symptoms on Thursday, you do not meet the criteria of a close contact and testing is not recommended.

     b. Example 2: You spend time with a person (less than 6 feet for 15 minute or more) on Friday. If the COVID-19 positive person started having symptoms on Saturday, you meet the criteria of a close contact and should follow testing and quarantine recommendations listed above.
