COVID-19 Self-Assessment Tool for Eeyou Istchee

Have you already had COVID-19?
Did you have COVID-19 in the last 60 days? 

Recommendation

No isolation or testing is required; you can safely resume your activities as long as you feel well.

For more information on the COVID-19 recommendations and information, please visit: https://www.creehealth.org/covid

Which of the following applies to your situation?
Are you immunosuppressed?

Recommendation

If you are in a home that is isolating in a bubble with someone positive, we recommend that you isolate yourself for 10 days from when the first person in the house got sick, if:

  • You are asymptomatic.
  • You continue to test negative during the isolation period.

We recommend rapid tests at home or a community testing centre on the 3rd , 7th and 10th day after first exposure (approximate days).

An immunosuppressed contact who tests negative repeatedly while living with a person who has COVID-19 can end their isolation after 10 days. Even if other people in the home test positive after the first person in the home tests positive.

Immunosuppressed people are asked to isolate a little longer than people who are not because their immune suppression makes them more likely to get the infection and to be able to spread it to others for longer.

If one of your tests becomes positive, your situation is different. You should re-answer the questionnaire to get the correct recommendation for you to isolate as a person with COVID-19

If you develop symptoms during the 10 days, assume you are positive. You should re-answer the questionnaire to get the correct recommendation for you to isolate as a person with COVID-19 .

You should also ask a healthcare provider if anti-viral medications are right for you.
