What To Do If You Test Positive For Omicron?
"As the omicron form spreads rapidly across the country, the number of COVID-19 cases has continued to rise."
As the omicron form spreads rapidly across the country, the number of COVID-19 cases has continued to rise.
Several studies suggest that the omicron form causes less severe illnesses on average than previous versions of the virus, but it is still severe enough that some people need to be hospitalized.
Here are some things to do when you test positive for the Omicron variant.
Isolate for 5 days
If you test positive, you must still isolate — that is, remain away from other individuals, including those you live with. You should isolate yourself for five days regardless of your immunization status.
You can leave your house after five days if you have no symptoms, including no fever, and have not taken medication in the last 24 hours. For at least five days, you should wear a mask among other people.
Do not seek a confirming PCR test
As a result, doctors advise people who test positive for the virus at home not to get a second test. As a result, they are more likely to spread the infection to others and take up resources that could be used by others.
Notify your close contacts
COVID-19 is very contagious, so anyone you've spent time unmasked with before having symptoms or testing positive could be at risk.
Even if you only develop a moderate case of COVID-19, it could make someone else sick.
Notifying people who have been exposed lets them to be tested and potentially stop the transmission cycle, making it easier for them to seek treatment if necessary.
Consult Doctor if necessary
If you have a primary care doctor, you should tell them about your infection so they can assess whether or not treatment is necessary.
This is especially crucial if you are older and at a higher risk for severe COVID-19, are pregnant, or have pre-existing diseases like diabetes or a weaker immune system.
