Testing positive for COVID-19
​You will be required to isolate for a minimum of 5 days or 24 hours after symptoms improve and no fever (without fever reducing medication), whichever is longer.  If you do not have symptoms, your isolation period begins the day of your positive test. 

If you are identified as a close contact of a positive case, you will be required to quarantine for 5 days since the last date that you had contact with the positive case.  

Our staff are available to help support you while you are in quarantine or isolation.  We can assist with grocery shopping, prescription pick up, rent/utility assistance, housing, and other needs to help you stay home for your entire isolation or quarantine period.  For more information about quarantine and isolation support, please email us here.
Contact a healthcare provider right away to determine if you are eligible for treatment, even if your symptoms are mild right now.
Don’t delay: Treatment must be started within days of when you first develop symptoms to be effective.
People who are more likely to get very sick include older adults (ages 50 years or more, with risk increasing with older age), people who are unvaccinated, and people with certain medical conditions, such as a weakened immune system. Being vaccinated makes you much less likely to get very sick. Still, some vaccinated people, especially those ages 65 years or older or who have other risk factors for severe disease, may benefit from treatment if they get COVID-19. A healthcare provider will help decide which treatment, if any, is right for you.
For COVID Treatment Options, contact your Primary Care Provider or Contact your local Urgent Care Clinic or Emergency Room.

​To calculate your quarantine or isolation period, please use the quarantine and isolation calculator click the button below:

​Quarantine for close contacts
Quarantine period starts the day the unvaccinated person was last in close contact with someone with COVID-19. 

Close contact means spending at least 15 minutes or more within 6 feet of someone over the course of a day, with or without a mask.  Individuals who are close contacts should quarantine for a minimum of 5 days and should get tested on day 5 after exposure. 

​If close contacts develop symptoms, please get tested, or if you are unable to get tested, assume you are positive for COVID-19 and isolate for a minimum of 5 days or 24 hours after symptoms resolve (whichever is LONGER).  

 It is very important to continue to wear a mask, wash your hands often and limit your contact with people you don’t live with for the full 10 days after exposure.
