If you work in a nursing home - yes.

My PCP recommended I stay home, but he didn’t say for how long. And I forgot to ask him.
My husband thinks I’m overreacting and is convinced it’s just allergies. I felt like this last July, and the July before that. Of course, it’s hardest for him that the kids are home because now the house is loud while he works.
I scheduled a test for today, and I won’t tell him until I get my results |
Awesome! I understand your husband feels likes 99 percent - you don't have COVID. But he needs to understand that if a 1 percent chance can kill 50 people, do you REALLY want to take that chance?

you do have covid symptoms, whch may be allgergies, but can just as easily be covid.
Youve been to NJ recently- Deal NJ has a big outbreak in the frum community, and there are new cases in lakewood.
You ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT go to work wothout first having a negative swab.
I work in a NY nursing home!! We lost 25% of our residents, and no it has nothing to do with cuomos mandate because we never accepted a single covid admission. We lost 25% of our residents because staff unknowingly gave it to all the residents!!!
How is this even an option??
Theres a significant chance that you are infected and youre considering going to work?? Sending your children to a babysitter so all the babies' family members can get infected as well, not to mention the babysitter?? |
A kindergarten teach in Israel just died after being infected by a kid.
TBH if you are high risk or actually care about not getting sick don't go back to work with children because even though she told the parents she was high risk - too many people don't care - that's why she got sick and died.

I thought that was the current recs?
If its not, then disregard my post.

AIUI, symptom free for 48 hours only helps if it's also been 10 days since symptoms started.

Latest guidelines from CDC:
You can be with others after
At least 10 days since symptoms first appeared and
At least 24 hours with no fever without fever-reducing medication and
Symptoms have improved

Wow. I thought they were saying 3 days fever free without medication. Even that seems quick, but I had the luxury of staying home, doing curbside shopping, etc.

I just went through something similar.
Then you have the other family members who need to quarantine 14 days after their last contact with you when you were contagious. So even if you are out of isolation (after a minimum of 10 days), your family would still be quarantined... unless you had isolated from them while contagious.
It is really a frustrating process.
Getting a timely negative test would be real relief to OP.
