To find out where you can get a COVID test, visit the State of Delaware website at coronavirus.delaware.gov/testing or the State of Maryland at covidlink.maryland.gov/symptoms-testing. Additionally, at-home COVID test kits may be available at retail pharmacies. Please DO NOT go to the emergency room or call ChristianaCare for a COVID test.

If you’re sick, ASSUME it’s COVID-19 – stay home except to get a test. Use a home test if you can – if it’s positive, you can trust the result. If it’s negative, you still may want to get a laboratory-based PCR test if you’re high risk, live or work with high-risk people, or if your doctor recommends a PCR test. Do not go to the emergency room unless you are experiencing a severe medical emergency.

If you test positive, you must isolate for at least 5 days, and then wear a mask whenever around others for an additional 5 days. For more information, see: COVID-19 Quarantine and Isolation | CDC.

If you test negative, and are up to date on vaccines (including all recommended boosters), you can return to normal activities. If you are not up to date and you have symptoms, you should quarantine for 5 days. If you are not up to date, but have no symptoms, you can continue usual activities. Take steps to get up to date to protect yourself and others.

Most people with COVID-19 have mild illness and can recover at home without medical care. Get rest and stay hydrated. Take over-the-counter medicines, such as acetaminophen, to help you feel better. However, some people who have symptoms and are higher risk of severe illness may benefit from treatment, with either oral pills or monoclonal antibodies. Call your doctor right away if you test positive, so that he or she can help you determine if you’re a candidate for treatment. Medications have to be given within the first few days to be effective, so don’t delay. Be sure to get care or call 911 if you have trouble breathing, or have any other emergency warning signs, or if you think it is an emergency. Learn more at: What to Do if You're Sick | CDC.
