COVID – 19 Information

THE BIG QUESTION:  If I have been exposed to Covid-19, when should I get tested?

THE ANSWER:  The Covid-19 Task Force Committee uses the 5-day mark after exposure to a person(s) positive with or suspected Covid-19 infection to be tested.  The reason for waiting is that the virus must multiply in the body to be detectable when tested.
