If you are exposed to COVID-19, you should wear a high-quality mask for 10 days and get tested on day 5.

Monitor your health and get tested right away if you start to show symptoms. Be alert for temperature over 100, cough, shortness of breath, or other symptoms.

You can find more symptoms at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html

If you test positive for COVID, you should isolate from others for at least 5 days after the date of your test.

• If, after 5 days, you have mild COVID or have no symptoms, and your temperature is 100 or below, you can end isolation and wear a high-quality mask through day 10.
• If you had moderate or severe COVID or you have low immunity, continue to isolate through day 10.
• If you ended isolation but your COVID symptoms come back or get worse you should restart you isolation period back to day 0.

You should isolate from others for at least 5 days. If you are fever-free after 5 days, you can end isolation and wear a high-quality mask through day 10.

This means people in an area have gotten the virus and have spread it to others in that same area. Some may not be sure how or where they became infected.

For people with private insurance, you can get eight at-home tests every month for each person enrolled in the plan at a rate of up to $12 per test. Depending on where you purchase the tests, they will be free either at the point of sale or by reimbursement. Call your insurer to check if it has a network of pharmacies and retailers that allow you to get tests free at the point of sale.

The CDC recommends that if you are exposed to COVID, regardless of vaccination status, you should:
• Wear a high-quality mask for 10 days, and
• Get tested on day 5.

The CDC no longer recommends quarantining if you are exposed.

No, quarantine is only for those who may have been exposed to COVID. It does not mean COVID is going away, and you do still need to isolate if you are sick or suspect you may have COVID symptoms. The CDC did this to try to make it easier for people to live their lives, while still letting people know what to do if they do get sick. The virus is still spreading in our community and can still make you very sick if you are not up to date on your shots.

No matter what your vaccination status is, you should still isolate if you have symptoms, even if you are not sure that you have COVID.

At Test to Treat sites, you can be tested for COVID and be seen by a health care provider during the same visit.

If you test positive and are eligible:
• You may receive a prescription to take to a certain pharmacy close to the testing location, or
• You may receive medication direct from the Test to Treat site.

Yes. In Erie County, you can go to the LECOM Center for Health and Aging at 3910 Schaper Ave. for testing. If you are positive for COVID, they can evaluate your situation and offer you treatment with Paxlovid or Lagevrio (Molnupiravir). You may also bring a positive test with you to show your status.
