I have been in contact with a person 10 days ago who tested positive for covid-19 today. what would my next steps be?

Testing/quarantine: Testing and quarantine will be appropriate in above circumstances. Due to differences between geographical location and specific regulations best will be to have your primary care doc coordinate based on local resources. Guidelines are constantly changing.

COVID 19: Agree with Dr. Pasniciuc regarding testing .I can’t tell where you are from. If from South Africa, contact PCM who will assess & make determination about COVID 19 testing. USA – policies vary by state. State & local health departments/ providers make actual testing decisions. Some states require a dr.'s referral & some don't. Can call PCM if one believes they should be tested.

See below: Covid-19: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Please contact your doctor by phone for further evaluation and mechanism for testing in your area. Wear a mask, stay away from others, practice hand hygiene. Be sure to get tested, if you get symptoms. If you develop breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital, immediately. Wish you good health.
