" that allows people to answer a series of questions to determine if they should seek medical care.
For those without symptoms, CDC guidance states they are considered contagious at least two days before their positive test.The CDC urges those who have or may have COVID-19 to watch for emergency warning signs and seek medical care immediately if they experience symptoms including:Inability to wake or stay awake"This list is not all possible symptoms," the CDC states."Please call your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning to you.
"If you're taking multiple at home tests, you know, the recommendation is five days later take a test. But if you have taken one at five and it's negative and you're feeling good, chances are very good that you're not going to have any more issues there," she said."I think if you're being extra careful there, if you wanted to test again, you know, at seven even, sometimes people look at three to get an earlier sense of things.
Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said that incubation times could be changing, but those who test early should continue testing even if they get negative results. Local health authorities can also make the final determination about how long a quarantine should last, however, and testing can play a role.
If you still have symptoms after isolating for five days, stay home until you feel better and then start your five days of wearing a mask at all times.According to the CDC,"day 0 is your first day of symptoms." That means that Day 1 is the first full day after your symptoms developed. Those who do not develop symptoms should get tested at least five days after their exposure and, if negative, can leave their home but should continue masking until the 10-day mark.The CDC notes that tests"are best used early in the course of illness to diagnose COVID-19 and are not authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to evaluate duration of infectiousness."
