12-17-20 We received notification that 4 Schuyler Residents tested positive for COVID-19. We also received notification of 4 additional Schuyler Residents who tested positive out of state earlier in the month. These individuals had been self-isolating since receiving their positive results and already have met the isolation requirements. I would like to thank them for doing so.
When testing is done out of state, there is a long delay in those results getting to us locally. The state that the individual was tested in has to report those to their state, and then at some point, we hope that those results are sent to the State of Missouri. After Missouri gets those results (or by chance, the testing site sends them to us locally), they are added into a computer system and finally sent to us locally.
If you have been notified regardless of where you are tested and have not been contacted by the Health Department, PLEASE self isolate immediately. Begin making a list of individuals that you have been in close contact with beginning 2 days before you started having symptoms. Go ahead and call those people so that they can begin quarantine. Call your local Health Department if you have not been contacted after a day or 2 of receiving your positive results.
We know there are positive individuals in our county that we are not getting notification of their results and, in turn, are unable to complete contact tracing with. The system in place isn’t 100%, but we are doing our best to slow the spread.
Please practice social distancing, and wear a mask when unable to maintain greater than 6 ft distance.
