COVID-19 General Information

COVID-19 Isolation Guidance Update 1/5/2022

Purchase District Health Department Isolation Guidance Update 1/5/2022 

 

Isolation guidance is expected to be further updated by Kentucky Department of Public Health within the next few days.

The new guidance that the CDC released does not apply to all situations and settings. Please see below for the most current guidance.

 

KDPH has revised the guidance for isolation and quarantine for the general public in response to the changes presented by CDC last week allowing for shortened isolation and quarantine under certain circumstances.  This guidance for shortened isolation or quarantine should not apply to high risk or congregate settings, K-12 schools, or childcare settings.

  • Healthcare facilities (including long term care) should follow the healthcare personnel guidance for isolation and quarantine (updated 12/23/2021).
  • Current KDPH guidance for K-12 Schools and Early Childhood Education remain unchanged and schools/childcare centers should continue to follow this guidance; KDPH is anticipating changes to the CDC school guidance so it is unlikely that revised statewide guidance will be released until those changes can be reviewed.
    • Universal use of masks and physical distancing are still recommended
    • 10 days of isolation for individuals who test positive is still recommended
    • Test-to-stay remains an option for K-12 students who are exposed and asymptomatic
  • Institutes of higher education may follow the guidance for the general public.
