Help Prevent the Spread Isolate if you are sick, quarantine if you have been exposed and identified as a close contact. You must isolate if you are symptomatic or have tested positive for COVID-19. This means you must be alone, without direct contact with anyone else, until you can no longer spread the virus. If you are exposed to someone with COVID-19 and you have NOTE been vaccinated, you must quarantine. If, 10 days after your exposure, you have no symptoms, you can end quarantine. You can end your quarantine after 7 days if you get tested and are negative for the virus. You should get tested 5-7 days after exposure. If you have NOT been vaccinated, please consider doing so for the protection of yourself and others. At a minimum: Wear a mask in public places, and around people from outside of your household and maintain a distance of six feet from others when in public spaces. Wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and warm water frequently or use hand sanitizer as an alternative. If you have a fever or have any symptoms of COVID-19, stay home and call your healthcare provider. Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, using a tissue or the inside of your elbow. Clean and sanitize high-contact household surfaces often, including doorknobs, handles, keyboards, remotes, and common surfaces. Follow the Quarantine Advisory for out-of-state travelers.

Choosing to wear a mask regardless of the level of transmission if you have a weakened immune system or if, because of your age or an underlying medical condition, you are at increased risk for severe disease, or if a member of your household has a weakened immune system, is at increased risk for severe disease, or is unvaccinated. People who have a condition or are taking medications that weaken the immune system, should continue to take all precautions recommended for unvaccinated people until advised otherwise by their healthcare provider.

The caller ID may show that the call is coming from “MA COVID Team”, or it could be an unknown number. Information shared during the call is strictly confidential and is treated as private medical information. Residents who receive a phone call from the MA COVID Team are urged to take the call and provide the relevant information. Contact Tracers will never require your social security number or health insurance ID number.

Blood Donations Needed Urgently Governor Baker has deemed “Blood and plasma donors and the employees of the organizations that operate and manage related activities” as an essential service. Donating blood is a necessity to supply hospitals with the blood our neighbors require. Donating blood is safe and people should not hesitate to give. Those who are healthy, feeling well and eligible to give blood or platelets are urged to make an appointment to donate as soon as possible. Donations via Cape Cod Healthcare: visit https://www.capecodhealth.org/ways-to-give/blood-center/. Donations via the Red Cross: To ensure a stable supply throughout this pandemic, blood donation is essential and safe. Those who are feeling healthy and well are encouraged to donate life-saving blood and platelets, and are asked to schedule a donation throughout the coming months. Due to enhanced safety protocols and social distancing, donors MUST be pre-registered for an appointment, as drives will not be able to accommodate walk-ins at this time. The Red Cross encourages individuals who have fully recovered from COVID-19 to sign-up to give convalescent plasma by completing the Donor Information Form on RedCrossBlood.org/plasma4covid. To be eligible to donate convalescent plasma, individuals must meet all regular blood donor requirements and be symptom free and fully recovered from the virus.
