What happens if you test positive?
We ask that residents voluntarily report their positive home test kit results by using this secure reporting portal:
Follow the CDC guidance (which can be reviewed online at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/isolation.html).
If you test positive for COVID-19, stay home for at least 5 days and isolate from others in your home.
You are likely most infectious during these first 5 days.
When you have COVID-19, isolation is counted in days, as follows:
If you had no symptoms:
– Day 0 is the day you were tested (not the day you received your positive test result)
– Day 1 is the first full day following the day you were tested
– If you develop symptoms within 10 days of when you were tested, the clock restarts at day 0 on the day of symptom onset
If you had symptoms:
– Day 0 of isolation is the day of symptom onset, regardless of when you tested positive
– Day 1 is the first full day after the day your symptoms started
You should also isolate if you are sick and suspect that you have COVID-19 but do not yet have test results.
NVHD is also offering COVID-19 vaccines on Thursday, December 15th from 1:30pm-3:30pm.
