CI Health Follows CDC Guidelines for Re-entry into the Community After COVID-19
Date Posted: April 22, 2020
CI Health is following the Center for Disease Control’s guidelines on discontinuing home isolation for confirmed or suspected COVID-19 patients.
CDC GUIDELINES:
People with COVID-19 or suspected COVID-19 who have stayed home (home isolated) can stop home isolation under the following conditions:
- You have had no fever for at least 3 consecutive days (at least 72 hours of no fever without the use of medicine that reduces fevers) AND
- Other symptoms have improved (for example, when your cough or shortness of breath have improved) AND
- At least 10 days have passed since your symptoms first appeared OR you have received two negative tests in a row, 24 hours apart. Your doctor will follow the CDC guidelines on testing.
CI Health would also suggest:
- If you have confirmed or suspected COVID-19 and are in need of home oxygen, please obtain clearance from your medical provider prior to reentry into the community.
- If you have had confirmed or suspected COVID-19, we recommend staying at home as much as possible to limit contact with the community.
