Close Contacts: What to know and do
So, you think you may be a close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 and are wondering what to do?
-
First, if you do not have symptoms get tested now and again 3-5 days from your exposure.
- Wear a mask around others for 10 days, and monitor for symptoms
- If you do have symptoms, you should STAY HOME and self isolate.
- Get tested as soon as possible: you can self-schedule a symptomatic test on eTang
- Stay home until you have tested negative with TWO home antigen tests (separated by 24 hours) OR a single PCR test, unless an alternate diagnosis is found
-
You do not need to test if you had COVID within the past 30 days, unless you develop symptoms.

Additional requirements for returning to work do exist for Healthcare workers.
