Employer protocols: Please stay home since you have had contact with her and there is a risk of transmission. The typical incubation period is 5-7 days. The PCR test may be positive in advance of symptoms. Please have a test performed and discuss with your employer the next steps. If symptoms develop, contact your PCP, monitor your temperature, use Tylenol rather than Motrin, drink fluids and rest.
