Date: January 20, 2022To: All MediaFrom: Hood River County Health Department Subject: Resources for COVID-19 and At-Home Testing Per Oregon Health Authority’s recent guidance, the Health Department will no longer be directly contacting individuals who test positive for COVID-19. Resources If you test positive for or were exposed to COVID-19, it is important that you follow proper isolation and quarantine precautions. Visit hrccovid19.org for updated isolation and quarantine guidance or call 866-917-8881 if you have questions about COVID-19 exposure concerns or need resources to be able to stay home.At-Home Positive TestsFDA-authorized at-home rapid antigen tests are another layer of precaution to lower the risk of getting or spreading COVID-19. Please keep in mind that a negative test result on an at-home antigen test does not necessarily rule out infection. At-home rapid antigen tests are most likely to correctly detect an infection if taken at 3-5 days since exposure. Even if you test negative for COVID-19, please stay home if you are experiencing any COVID-19, flu, or common cold symptoms. If you test positive on a home test, please contact your medical provider if you have questions or concerns about your symptoms.Changes to Vaccine Eligibility• Booster doses for Moderna and Pfizer may now be received 5 months after 2nd dose• Booster doses for Pfizer have now been approved for ages 12-15• Third doses (28 days after 2nd dose) of Pfizer have been approved for certain immune-compromised children ages 5-11Visit hrccovid19.org for a list of upcoming vaccine opportunities in Hood River County.Thank you for doing your part to keep our community healthy! ...
