2021 Pawnee County Health Needs Assessment
PAWNEE COUNTY GUIDANCE FOR COVID 19 DISEASE
Pawnee County Health Department (PCHD) is following CDC/KDHE guidelines for isolation and quarantine and has included KDHE graphic guide to address this. Note the key component for leaving your home early after 5 days if positive and general public if exposed by a non-household member after the last exposure and 10 days for household contacts is being able to consistently and correctly wear a mask. If you cannot or will not wear a mask, you will need to follow the guidance in the graphic. The mask needs to be snug fitting and cover both the mouth and nose, not ride under the nose or chin just to say you had a mask on. If a person is infected with Covid 19 it is thought, they can still be infectious after day 5 which is where wearing a mask until day 10 comes into play. The sick person should also practice good hand hygiene during the 10-day period as well. The graphic is for the general public; healthcare providers, daycare, and congregate settings fall under other guidelines. Day care attendees are expected to quarantine/isolate for the full 10-day time frame from exposure to a case/or onset of symptoms or test results in absence of symptoms.
Cases in Pawnee County are currently being transferred to KDHE for follow up, but KDHE is prioritizing high risk individuals first. If you are positive you will need to identify your close contacts and notify them of the need to quarantine following the graphic, notating whether it is an out of household or in household contact as soon as you learn of a positive test. The definition of close contact is being at less than 6 feet for 15 cumulative minutes 48 hours prior to when symptoms started or test date in absence of symptoms up util the positive person started isolating when they felt like they were a potential case. In addition, if you were coughed, sneezed on, or had other body fluid contact from the ill person that would also be deemed a close contact.
If you have questions, you may contact PCHD at 620-285-6963 or 1-800-211-4401 or message us on our Facebook page at Pawnee County, Kansas Health Department.
