Therefore, not everyone with a positive result, or contacts of a positive individual, will be contacted so please follow the below procedure: 1. If you have received a positive test result: isolate yourself from family, friends, and/or roommates for 10 days from the date of your test or follow Public Health’s instructions. notify your contacts that they should quarantine and monitor themselves for symptoms for 14 days from the date they last were in contact with the positive case. 2. If you are awaiting test results: isolate yourself until you receive you results. If you receive a positive result, follow instructions above. If negative, continue to wear a mask, stay socially distanced, and wash your hands. Due to the large volume of cases, Public Health is unable to contact everyone. Therefore, please do the right thing and isolate when you are sick or awaiting test results, and quarantine if you are a contact of someone who is COVID positive or are positive yourself.
