Now that we have determined that there were members who tested positive for COVID-19 within a 14-day period, we need to determine if they were infectious while they attended the community setting.
Symptomatic Case: A person with COVID-19 is contagious from 48 hours before symptoms start until the end of their self-isolation period, usually 10 days after symptoms began.
Asymptomatic Case: If an individual has no symptoms, they are considered contagious from 48 hours before the date they were tested until 10 days after the test date.
Example: If an employee develops a fever and cough on April 4 and tests positive for COVID-19, they would be considered contagious between April 2 and April 14.
