In alignment with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Nodaway County Health Department and other public health agencies, 本网页为西北社区提供与COVID-19大流行相关的广泛信息和常见问题的答案.

有关COVID-19及其对健康影响的其他具体信息,请访问 CDC's Respiratory Virus Guide.

What is contact tracing?

接触者追踪是确定COVID-19患者的所有密切接触者并将密切接触者隔离的过程. COVID-19检测呈阳性或被确定为密切接触者的个人将收到卫生保健官员的指示,说明他们需要采取哪些步骤来防止病毒进一步传播.

In alignment with current CDC and State recommendations, 西北地区目前未对已知阳性病例进行病例调查或接触者追踪. However, 网上赌博网站十大排行检测呈阳性的学生可能仍会接到诺达威县卫生部的电话. 诺达威县卫生部门在得知一个人的COVID-19检测呈阳性后,开始了他们的病例调查. It is the process of interviewing the patient to determine their symptoms and symptom onset, possible locations where exposure occurred and their close contacts.

密切接触者被认为是任何长时间(至少15分钟)密切接触(6英尺内)的人。, or had physical contact (of any duration) with an individual who tested positive; a person may be considered a close contact regardless of whether either individual was wearing face coverings. A common misconception is that you should quarantine if you have been exposed to someone who is a close contact; that is not accurate. If you live with someone who is a contact, but they do not have a positive test or symptoms, you do not need to quarantine.

Do college students qualify for free at home COVID-19 testing kits?

Yes. The federal government is providing four free COVID-19 testing kits to every U.S. residential address that requests them at www.covidtests.gov and at 800.232.0233 for people without internet access. 

College students residing on- or off-campus may request free testing kits. Students with shared housing addresses -- such as residence halls, 公寓建筑或其他集体住房-应填写其唯一的房间或公寓号码, and/or letter with their street address on the ordering form or via phone.

What is the difference between "isolation" and "quarantine"?

Isolation 这个词是指COVID-19检测呈阳性,必须呆在家里,避免见到其他人的人吗. 检测呈阳性的个体应隔离5天,从症状出现之日或检测结果呈阳性之日开始. They are not to leave their home or return to campus until after the five-day period has passed and they are fever free and other symptoms are improving.

Quarantine is the term used for individuals who are identified as a close contact to a positive case. The CDC has created a two-tier grouping for close contacts:

  • 最近完成辉瑞或Moderna批准的疫苗的主要系列(在过去6个月内)的个人, or within the past two months for Johnson & Johnson), as well as individuals who have received a booster dose of vaccine, are not required to quarantine if they remain asymptomatic. 疾病预防控制中心建议,这些人在与他人接触时应戴上口罩10天,并在接触后的第5天进行检测, if possible. If an individual in this tier develops symptoms, they should be tested and stay at home while awaiting results.
  • Anyone who is unvaccinated, partially vaccinated (only completed one dose of a two-dose series), or who has completed their series (at least five months prior for Pfizer and Moderna, or two months prior for Johnson & Johnson) and who hasn't yet received a booster dose, should quarantine for five days, followed by mask usage around other individuals for an additional five days. 美国疾病控制与预防中心建议这组人在接触后的第五天进行检测,如果在任何时候出现症状,都要呆在家里.
