何時進行檢測

您有以下症狀：

If you, or someone you're with develops any of the symptoms common for COVID-19, you should get tested for the virus that causes COVID-19 regardless of your vaccination status. These include, but are not limited to the following:

• 發燒或畏寒
• 咳嗽或呼吸困難
• 疲勞
• 肌肉或身體酸痛
• 頭痛
• 新的味覺或嗅覺喪失
• 充血或流鼻涕或喉嚨痛
• 噁心、嘔吐或腹瀉

接受檢測的其他原因：

• 密切接觸：如果在過去 2 週內，您曾接觸過 COVID-19 檢測呈陽性或最近感染過的人，請接受檢測。 
• 即將進行的醫療程序：在進行程序之前，請按照您的提供者的說明確定何時安排您的檢測。

PCR 檢測

伊薩卡購物中心 (40 Catherwood Rd) The Shops 的卡尤加健康 (CH) 採樣站的使用量一直呈現顯著下降趨勢，經過數月審查後，於 2023 年 5 月 5 日關閉。卡尤加健康繼續在醫師辦公室提供公共 PCR（實驗室確認）檢測，包括在 Immediate Care (8 Brentwood Drive, Ithaca) 的免預約就診。社區中的其他醫療保健提供者也會繼續提供 PCR 檢測。閱讀我們 2023 年 4 月 28 日的新聞稿，瞭解更多資訊。

Low or No-Cost PCR tests at select local pharmacies: Click here for locations. Contact the pharmacy directly for more information. 

Rheonix Laboratories (30 Brown Road, Ithaca): Nasal or Saliva testing; insurance billed. Click here for more information or call 607-252-6424.

Changes in funding for PCR testing: The Federal Emergency Declaration funding ends on May 11, 2023 and PCR test funding by the Tompkins County Legislature ended in January 2023. These changes may result in changes to your health insurance coverage for PCR or lab confirmed tests, such as responsibility for co-pays. It is recommended that you speak with your workplace HR or benefits office, or your insurance provider to find out the cost prior to seeking a PCR test. Health insurance coverage requires that the situation fit the criteria for being medically necessary.

自我檢測或居家檢測套組

WHAT: Self-tests or at-home test kits (also sometimes referred to as Antigen tests) are one of the many prevention tools we can use to stop of the spread of COVID-19, along with vaccination, masking, and physical distancing. They are able to signal current infection using a qualitative detection of the nucleocapsid protein antigen from SARS-CoV-2, providing information about the risk of spreading the virus that causes COVID-19. Typically a nasal swab is used to collect the sample.

WHERE: Self-test kits are available over the counter at many pharmacies and online — no prescription needed. Note that the County no longer has free self-test kits, effective 4/4/2024. The County had been delivering test kits provided by NYS for free distribution by local libraries and other municipal centers, subject to availability. Click here for more information.

當您使用自我檢測時，請嚴格按照產品說明進行操作，以盡量減少錯誤或無效的結果。  Download a self-test check list (PDF).

誰應使用自我檢測套組？

• 對於沒有症狀並正在尋求快速結果以確定感染或增強對 COVID-19 未呈陽性的信心的個人，建議進行自我檢測。
• 與非家人在室內聚會之前，可以先自我檢測以作為預防措施。在與未接種疫苗的個人、老年人、免疫力低下的人員或重病風險較高的人員聚會之前，這一點尤為重要。
• 如果您有症狀或是密切接觸者，則建議您進行 PCR 檢測。如果您有 COVID-19 症狀或接觸過或可能接觸過 COVID-19 患者，則可以使用自我檢測，但它們的決定性不如 PCR 檢測。如果您正在尋求醫療護理，請聯絡您的醫療保健提供者，以進一步討論症狀。

如何使用自我檢測

• Prepare to take the test by reading and following the manufacturer’s instructions exactly to minimize false or invalid results. Wash hands with soap and water and thoroughly clean surfaces where you’ll take the test. Be sure to know what the results will look like on your brand of test.  
• Collect your sample by following the instructions exactly. Most self-tests take nasal samples, which require you to swab the inside of your nose for fifteen (15) seconds for each nostril. 
• Once collected, use the sample exactly as described in the instructions to complete the self-test.
• Be sure to monitor the timeframe for the reading the test, usually wait 10 minutes and no more than 15 minutes. Some of the test kits refer you to a phone app that leads you through the process and sets a timer for reading the results.

如果您的自我檢測結果為陽性

• 從陽性檢測結果或出現症狀（以先發生者為準）起，您應立即隔離 5 天。隔離 5 天後，繼續在有其他人在場時，佩戴合適的口罩。 
• 沒有必要進行後續 PCR 檢測。一旦您收到陽性檢測結果，無論檢測類型為何，您都會被視為陽性病例，並應與其他人隔離。

通知密切接觸者

• 您家中的任何人（與您同住的人）感染的風險都會增加，尤其是傳染性更強的 Omicron 變種。家中的每個人都應密切監測自己的症狀，特別是如果他們未接種疫苗、免疫力低下或有其他潛在的健康狀況。他們可以就任何疑慮和額外治療聯絡他們的醫師。
• 請通知密切接觸者，他們可能已經暴露。密切接觸者的定義是：在傳染期的 24 小時內，與感染者在 6 英尺範圍以內累積共處總時間超過 15 分鐘的人。
  • 傳染期從您第一次出現症狀前的 2 天開始（如果您有症狀）。
  • 如果您沒有症狀（無症狀），傳染期開始於檢測樣本採集前 2 天。
• 密切接觸者應密切監測自己是否有症狀。如果出現症狀，請自我檢測或尋求 PCR 檢測。
• 如果您遇到任何呼吸困難、持續胸痛或胸壓、嘴唇或臉色發青的緊急警告訊號，請立即致電 9-1-1。

Over-the-counter (OTC) test kits.

• Before You Throw Out "Expired" Tests, check FDA's website to see if your COVID-19 tests' expiration dates have been extended..
• A negative result indicates that you may not be infected and may be at low risk of spreading disease to others, though it does not rule out an infection. You may be infected but your "viral load" may not be high enough for the test to pick it up. Also, occasionally a test gives a false negative.
• Consider repeating the test 24 hours later, especially if you are feeling symptons of COVID-19 or the flu. Test kits frequently include two tests and retesting will increase the confidence of your result.
