COVID-19 FAQ’s
What are symptoms of COVID-19?
People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. Anyone can have mild to severe symptoms. People with these symptoms may have a variant of the coronavirus:
Fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea.
This list does not include all possible symptoms.
Should I get tested for covid-19?
The following people should get tested for current COVID-19 infection:
People who have symptoms of COVID and/or people who have had a known exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID (with or without symptoms) and/or people who have come into close contact with someone with COVID (with or without symptoms) should be tested to check for infection:
Fully vaccinated people should be tested 5–7 days after their last exposure.
People who are not fully vaccinated should get tested immediately when they find out they are a close contact. If their test result is negative, they should get tested again 5–7 days after their last exposure or immediately if symptoms develop.
People not fully vaccinated who are prioritized for expanded community screening for COVID-19.
People not fully vaccinated who have been asked or referred to get testing by their workplace, etc.
What does “close contact” mean?
Someone who was less than 6 feet away from infected person (laboratory-confirmed or a clinical diagnosis) for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period (for example, three individual 5-minute exposures for a total of 15 minutes). An infected person can spread coronavirus starting from 2 days before they have any symptoms (or, for asymptomatic people, 2 days before the positive specimen collection date), until they meet the criteria for ending isolation.
If I test positive, When am I no longer contagious?
For most people with a current COVID infection, isolation and precautions can be discontinued 10 days after symptom onset and after resolution of fever for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing medications, and with improvement of other symptoms.
For people who are asymptomatic (never develop symptoms):
Isolation and precautions can be discontinued 10 days after the first positive viral test.
For people who are severely ill or severely immunocompromised:
A test-based strategy can be considered in consultation with infectious disease experts.
Some people with severe illness (e.g., requiring hospitalization, intensive care, or ventilation support) may produce replication-competent virus beyond 10 days that may warrant extending the duration of isolation and precautions for up to 20 days after symptom onset.
Severely immunocompromised patients may produce replication-competent virus beyond 20 days and require additional testing and consultation with infectious disease specialist to determine the appropriate duration of isolation and precautions.
