WHAT SHOULD I DO WHILE WAITING FOR TEST RESULTS?
- If you are sick, it's important that you isolate yourself until you get your test results. Do not have contact with others. Do not go to work, meet up with friends or attend gatherings. Isolating yourself will prevent spread of the virus should you test positive.
- If you have to be around others, wear a mask to prevent possible spread of the virus.
- If you were tested for COVID-19 but have no symptoms and no known or suspected exposure to someone with COVID- 19 (for example, as part of a workplace screening program), you do not need to stay home while waiting for your results unless you are told to do so by your employer or by a public health official.
WHAT DO MY TEST RESULTS MEAN?
-
Negative test result: You most likely do not have COVID-19 at this time. You could have been exposed to COVID-19 at some point and not enough time has passed for the test to pick it up. You may test positive at a later date.
- Monitor for symptoms and get tested at least 5 days after you were exposed.
- Wear a well-fitting mask around others for 10 days.
