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.
