COVID-19 in Orange County: Updated Recommendations for Isolation Precautions Testing for COVID-19 Any patient with symptoms consistent with COVID-19 should be considered for testing.... Fever or chills, cough and shortness of breath are the most common initial symptoms. Fatigue, muscle pain, headache, new loss of taste or smell, vomiting or diarrhea, sore throat and/or nasal congestion are also seen. CDC recommendations for clinical evaluation can be found at: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavi/2019-ncov//clinical-care.html - Providers are particularly recommended to test symptomatic - Patients in high risk groups, including: - Hospitalized patients - Persons 65 years of age or older or with underlying health conditions - Residents of congregate settings such as skilled nursing facilities, homeless shelters, and jails - Healthcare workers - First responders Testing of Asymptomatic Patients Testing of asymptomatic patients is most useful for containing outbreaks in specific populations, particularly congregate living settings such as skilled nursing facilities and homeless shelters. Asymptomatic community close contacts will still need to be quarantined for 14 days after last exposure to the case, whatever the test result. With the current limitations of testing capacity in the county, OCHCA does not recommend that asymptomatic close contacts be routinely tested.
