Am I a close contact?

 

Hello Cozy Lake, 

With the increase in cases in our community, many of you are wondering how to know if you or a family member is considered a "close contact". 

A "close contact" is:
  • anyone within 6 feet of a person infected with COVID-19 
  • for 15 minutes or more within a 24-hour period 
  • while that person was infectious.  

***Infectious period is considered 2 days before onset of symptoms (or if asymptomatic, test date) to 10 days after.
