Have not been in direct* contact with a confirmed positive person

*Direct contact: closer than 6 feet without masks for more than 15 minutes

I tested positive. What should I do?

Isolate yourself from others for at least 5 days to prevent spreading the virus.

Our providers recommend water, rest and Tylenol.

If you are having labored breathing or new/worsening symptoms after 10 days of a positive result, proceed to the emergency department ASAP.

I tested positive, but I feel better. Should I test again?

Not if it has not been 90 days from the positive result.

Why do I need to wait so long to retest?

The virus is no longer alive in your body, but the DNA may still be being shed and will continue to result positive in testing.

I need a negative test to return to work/school/travel.

There is no state/CDC requirement for a negative test to return to work.

Travel requirements vary by destination. Check cdc.gov for more information

The provider you have established can write a note for your leave/return to work/travel/school.

The provider can also write an addendum to the note if you are still experiencing symptoms after 5 days from the original result. 

To request a doctor’s note (or addendum): call (804)769-2015 and select option 2.

What is the difference between PCR and rapid testing?

PCR testing is more accurate and can take 24 hours to 5 days to get results.

Rapid testing only takes a few hours to receive results.

These results will also be available on your patient portal.

Results are called to patients at 1pm and 4pm daily, when results have completed.

What if my original vaccinations were Pfizer or Johnson&Johnson?
