I’ve been exposed to COVID. What should I do? Unfortunately COVID is still alive, even as restrictions are reduced. We are all not immune to this virus. Per the CDC these are the recommendations if you are exposed:

If you were exposed to COVID and NOT up to date on your vaccine:

•     Stay home. Quarantine for at least 5 days

•      Wear a well fitting mask if you must be around others in your home

•     Do not travel

•     Get tested at least 5 days after exposure even if you don’t develop symptoms

•     After quarantine continue to watch for symptoms until 10 days after exposure

•     If you develop symptoms get tested.  

If you were exposed to COVID and ARE up to date on your vaccinations:

•     No quarantine, unless you develop symptoms

•     Get tested at least 5 days after exposure, even if you don’t develop symptoms

•     Watch for symptoms until 10 days.

•     If you develop symptoms test immediately and isolate.

Wear a mask around others   I hope this article answers questions about exposed to COVID. I think it’s going to stay around for awhile!
