COVID Protocols for Exposure and Illness

If you have tested positive for COVID or have symptoms following exposure, it is important to quarantine yourself to prevent further spread. Day 1 of quarantine begins AFTER the day you were exposed. Below are the guidelines for EXPOSURE to COVID according to the CDC.

Fully Vaccinated Individuals:

  • No quarantine necessary if asymptomatic 
  • Test within 5 days of exposure 
  • Wear a mask for 10 days following exposure
  • Watch for symptoms for 10 days

~If you become symptomatic isolate for 5 days~

Partial Vaccinated or Unvaccinated Individuals:

  • Quarantine and wear a mask around others in your household for 5 days
  • Test within 5 days of exposure
  • Wear a mask for 10 days following exposure
  • Watch for symptoms for 10 days

~If you become symptomatic isolate for 5 days.~

 

Pregnancy & COVID

The most important thing is to keep things clean and from spreading:

  • Designate your own bathroom, disinfect after each use
  • Wash hands often
  • Wear a mask around other household members.


Monoclonal Antibody Treatment

Once you have tested positive for COVID from a PCR test (NOT RAPID OR AT HOME TEST) you may be eligible for monoclonal antibodies. These types of antibodies help fight COVID faster. However, resources are limited, and getting treatment may be difficult. Click on the link below to learn more about this treatment and how to schedule an appointment if you are eligible.
