PRLog -- Docsun continues to encourage individuals that whether you test positive or negative for COVID-19, you should take preventive measures to protect yourself and others. A viral test checks specimens from your nose or your mouth to find out if you are currently infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. Viral tests can be performed in a laboratory, at a testing site, or at home or anywhere else.
Docsun on Who should get tested for COVID-19 - People who have symptoms of COVID-19.
- People who have come into close contact with someone with COVID-19 should be tested to check for infection:
Docsun on Who does not need to be testedThe following people who have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 do not need to get tested if they do not have COVID-19 symptoms:
People who have tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 3 months and recovered, as long as they do not develop new symptoms, do not need to get tested.
Docsun on Positive Viral Test
If you test positive for the virus that causes COVID-19
, take the following steps to protect others regardless of your COVID-19 vaccination status.
- If you do not have any symptoms, you should still isolate at home for at least 10 days.
- If you develop symptoms, continue to isolate for at least 10 days after symptoms began as long as symptoms have improved, and no fever is present for at least 24 hours.
- Most people have mild COVID-19 illness and can recover at home without medical care.
- Contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible if you are more likely to get very sick because of being an older adult or having underlying medical conditions.
Docsun on Negative Viral Test
If you test negative for the virus that causes COVID-19, the virus was not detected.
If you have symptoms of COVID-19:
- You may have received a false negative test result and still might have COVID-19. You should isolate away from others.
- Contact your healthcare provider about your symptoms, especially if they worsen, about follow-up testing, and how long to isolate.
If you do not have symptoms of COVID-19, and you were exposed to a person with COVID-19:
- You are likely not infected, but you still may get sick.
