If You Recently Tested Positive for COVID19

FOR NEW GUIDANCE FOR 5 Day Release, CLICK HERE
If you recently tested positive for COVID19, please isolate at home immediately, even if you are asymptomatic. If you have close contacts who have NOT been vaccinated or recently have had COVID19, especially in your household, they should quarantine immediately. If you are able to isolate from other household members, please do so. See above guidance to know how long you need to isolate.

When should you hear from a contact tracer? EFFECTIVE 1/13/2022: All contact tracing will be through the Illinois Department of Public Health and a centralized Contact Tracing Surge Center on January 13th, 2022. You will receive an automated text message from IDPH. This is the outgoing text you will see: IDPH COVID: There is important info for you. Call 312-777-1999 or click: https://dph.illinois.gov/covid19/community-guidance/confirmed-or-possible-covid-19.html. Once you make the call into the surge center, you may need to leave a message and you will be called back by the surge center. It is important that you used a VALID cell phone number when you were tested as that is the number that will be used by the surge center for contact and that you will need to enter to talk to someone. If you used a landline, then you will need to call 312-777-1999 to speak to someone.

Moving forward on January 13th, to receive a release letter to go back to work or school, you MUST respond to these text messages to “opt in” by calling 312-777-1999. However, due to the surge in cases, you may still not receive a letter in a timely manner.

A “release letter” that lets employers/schools know that an individual has completed their quarantine or isolation will no longer be offered by local health departments. Any letters would need to be obtained from the IDPH Surge Center. Businesses need to be prepared for a possible delay or stoppage of release from isolation or quarantine letters, meaning an employee may not have a letter available to present to prove that isolation/quarantine is over. Businesses may want to re-evaluate their protocols in requiring return to work.

If you opt out of contact tracing, you still MUST isolate.
