Since the test results are sent to the Department of Health and Senior Services to be placed in a database before coming to HCHC, it can take up to 72 hours before we are notified. Along with isolating yourself, we also ask that you quarantine members of your family. This can include not sharing a bathroom and remaining six feet apart at all times when possible.
When your doctor informs you of your positive test, please begin a list of people that you might have had close contact with (less than 6 ft apart for more than 15 minutes) 48 hrs. before you started feeling ill. When the Health Center Epidemiologist contacts you, this will help expedite the process.
If you have a school-age child who is positive please notify their school IMMEDIATELY. As always we are asking the community to please use face coverings, wash your hands often, remain six feet apart, and stay home when you are not feeling well. Thank you for your part in reducing the spread.
