COVID Testing Results

          Citizens who were tested on November 18, 2020 at the pop-up COVID testing site on the Lucas County Fairgrounds and have not received their results should consider getting retested.
        After a rapid review over the past three days it was been determined a small number of November 18 tests have encountered a shipping issue. The Health Department followed all necessary steps in the pop-up testing protocol, including samples being picked up by a designated courier. However, the samples were unable to be processed as they were never delivered to MAKO Medical laboratories, as previously indicated. The health department is still working to locate the test samples. MAKO will attempt to contact each individual who may have been affected, to inform them of the circumstances and are offering another pop-up testing site in Lucas County on December 9th, 2020 from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Lucas County Fair Grounds-Rec Hall 2 1406 Key St., Maumee, OH 43537.
         If individuals who were tested on this date never had symptoms or were tested "just because," they may return to work/activities after 10 days have passed from their test date. If individuals had symptoms before being tested at the pop-up site, they are free to return to work if:
         · Ten days have passed since symptoms start;
        · Fever free for at least 24 hours without using fever reducing medication;
        · All other symptoms have greatly improved;
        · No additional known exposure to a COVID-19 positive individual within the last 14 days;
        · No current fever or other severe COVID symptoms (active cough, shortness of breath, etc.)
       
         If individuals did not have symptoms (asymptomatic) before being tested at the pop-up site, they are free to return to work if:
        · Ten days have passed since test date;
         · There is no additional known exposure to a COVID-19 positive individual within the last 14 days;
         · They have had no current fever or other severe COVID symptoms (active cough, shortness of breath, etc.).
        The health department urges the public to continue to practice best precautionary measures, including wearing a face covering, social distancing as best as possible, and washing your hands regularly.
