Johnson County Reduces COVID-19 Quarantine Restrictions
The following release was received by Townsquare Media Sedalia / Warrensburg from Johnson Country Community Health Services.
Johnson County Community Health Services (JCCHS) has reduced quarantine restrictions for anyone who may have been exposed to COVID-19. The time required for a close contact to quarantine is reduced from 14 to 10 days.
Based on our current decrease in positive COVID-19 cases, JCCHS recommends decreasing the existing 14 day quarantine period to 10 days based on the following:
Quarantine can end after day 10 without testing if no symptoms have been reported, and the individual continues to wear a mask.
End to quarantine after the completion of 10 full days for ASYMPTOMATIC individuals, provided that monitoring continues throughout the full 14 days. If symptoms develop, the individual should contact a public health authority or healthcare provider immediately.
Trying to Get A COVID Vaccine in Johnson County is Messy
I don t know but there s got to be a better way to sign up to get vaccinated than how Johnson County Community Health Services is doing it.
For the first vaccination clinic Johnson County Community Health Services sent out an email to those who had taken their COVID-19 survey. I saw it about 20 minutes after it arrived in my in box. By the time I clicked my way to the vaccine sign up page all the slots were gone.
JCCHS they tried something different with sign ups yesterday. I got an alert with a link from Johnson County Emergency Management Agency s RAVE alert system telling me I could sign up for COVID vaccination clinic on Friday. Easy, right? Click the link, sign up, and I m good to go. Yeah, not so much.
