Should be tested even without symptoms but wait 2-3 days after exposure. • Rapid antigen tests can be done for patients who have been experiencing symptoms more than 3-5 days after exposure. (Vernon Express Care Only) • Special circumstance, testing without an exposure for travel, work, etc. What to do with results • If positive, quarantine for at least 10 days and 24 hours after symptoms resolve. • If negative, if you have been exposed, still need to quarantine for 14 days after the date of last exposure. • If rapid antigen test is negative and symptoms persist, remain quarantined and be retested after several days. • If special circumstance, negative without a known exposure, may resume activities but still masking, social distancing and handwashing. • Special exception!!
