COVID-19 Testing Center

A 5-day isolation is mandatory for vaccinated individuals and children under 12 years old who are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. If all public health and safety measures are followed and if symptoms are showing signs of improvement for at least 24 hours, the individual can end their isolation period after 5 days.

A 10-day isolation period will be required for unvaccinated, partially vaccinated, and immunocompromised individuals.

Do you work or live in a high-risk healthcare setting, such as hospitals, long-term care, retirement homes, and other congregate living settings? Let your employer know immediately if you’re experiencing symptoms. People with symptoms should not report to work for 10 days from the onset of their symptoms or the day they got diagnosed. All household contacts are also required to isolate for the same duration as the individual with symptoms regardless of their vaccination status.

You may return to work earlier or on the seventh day of your isolation provided that you have a negative PCT test or two negative rapid antigen tests on the sixth and seventh day.

For more concerns about your COVID-19 symptoms, talk to your physician or healthcare provider to receive guidance. Contact 911 immediately if you require immediate medical attention due to shortness of breath or chest pain.

If you feel unwell but do not have symptoms of COVID-19, isolate until your condition improves for at least 24 hours.

Are you fully vaccinated, not experiencing any symptoms, and not living together with the confirmed case you’ve been in contact with?

You are advised to:

• Self-monitor yourself for 10 days since the last time you interacted with a COVID positive case.
• Meticulously follow health and safety measures, such as masking, physical distancing, and other public health measures.
• Steer clear of any high-risk settings or people who are at high risk of getting COVID-19.

Are you not fully vaccinated or are you immunocompromised?

You are advised to immediately isolate for 10 days. If you are living together with the confirmed case, isolate for the length of their isolation period.

If you have COVID-19 based on a positive test result (PCR, rapid molecular or rapid antigen) and fully vaccinated or under the age of 12, you are required to isolate for 5 days.

A 10-day isolation period will be required for unvaccinated, partially vaccinated, and immunocompromised individuals. All household contacts of the positive individual must also isolate themselves regardless of their vaccination status.
