COVID-19 Surveillance and Guidance

The Health Department has a limited supply of At Home Rapid Antigen Test Kits. We are able to dispense 1 kit per person (2 tests in one kit).

Be careful to use within the expiration date. The expiration date on the box may have been extended by the manufacturer- To check if the expiration date has been changed, you can do one of two things;

    1. Scan the QR code on the box
    2. Go to the manufacturers Website, go to the COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Tab to check the most current expiration date.

If you test positive for COVID-19 on either a rapid antigen or PCR test, you are required to self-isolate – whether you are vaccinated or not. Self-isolation means separating yourself from others to keep your germs from spreading. Regardless of vaccination status, all individuals who test positive should avoid people who are at high risk of severe disease for 10 days.

Day 0, first day of symptoms OR day the positive test was taken, whichever is earlier
Days 1-4, continue to isolate
Day 5, last day of isolation if asymptomatic or symptoms are improving
Day 6, leave isolation (if you are able to wear a mask at all times when around other people, including in your household, through day 10). You may remove your mask prior to day 10, if you have had two negative tests taken 48 hours apart.

If you have been EXPOSED to someone with COVID, you do not need to quarantine as long as you remain asymptomatic, regardless of your vaccination status. You must wear a mask any time you are around others inside your home or indoors in public for the 10 days following your exposure, unless you are unable to mask.
