Re: CLOSE CONTACT to COVID-19 CASE



Dear <Name of CLOSE CONTACT>



You have recently been in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID–19. This means that you are at risk of becoming infected with the virus. You have been identified as a close contact having had a higher risk of exposure to the case while they were infectious on <DATE>.


COVID-19 is a communicable disease reportable under The Public Health Act, 1994. Persons infected with or exposed to COVID-19 should take all precautions as advised by Public Health and all reasonable measures to reduce significantly the risk of infecting others.


Pursuant to the Disease Control Regulations (P-31.7 Reg 11 s8), you should:

  1. Immediately self-isolate and remain on isolation until <DATE>.

  2. Seek testing for COVID-19 immediately and again at Day 10 after the date of last exposure, regardless if symptoms develop.


Pursuant to The Public Health Act, 1994 (P-37.1 s38), you may be required to take additional action that a Medical Health Officer considers necessary to decrease or eliminate a risk to health presented by a communicable disease.


Self-isolate means you should stay home and avoid contact with anyone who is not fully vaccinated. Fully vaccinated means the final dose of the COVID-19 vaccine was received more than 14 days ago. Do not have visitors, unless they are fully vaccinated AND they are informed that you are self-isolating. Do not go to work, school, stores, social events and any other public setting. If you are unable to self-isolate at home, public health can refer you to supports to help you safely self-isolate in another suitable environment. More information about self-isolation is available on the Government of Saskatchewan website.


If you are infected, it can be up to 14 days after being exposed to COVID-19 before you become ill, and it is important to self-monitor for any symptoms. Should you develop symptoms, seek testing immediately. Should you require medical attention, it is important to call ahead to your health care provider’s office so arrangements can be made for you to be seen a way that reduces the chance of exposing other individuals.


Your assistance is very important to prevent spreading COVID-19, especially to individuals who are more susceptible to severe illness, such as those who have not been vaccinated or who are immunocompromised. We strongly recommend that everyone who is eligible gets both doses of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine series. If you are eligible but not fully vaccinated, you are able to get vaccinated once you are no longer self-isolating.


COVID-19 is a communicable disease spread through the air (by coughing, sneezing, talking). Individuals who have not been vaccinated are at highest risk of developing infection. Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, headache, muscle and or joint aches and pains, sore throat, chills, runny nose, nasal congestion, conjunctivitis, dizziness, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite (difficulty feeding for children), loss of sense of taste or smell, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing. Some individuals infected with COVID-19 may not develop symptoms but can still be infectious. Further information can be found at https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/coronavirus-disease-covid-19.html


Thank you for your cooperation during this period. We appreciate your assistance in preventing the possible spread of infection. Please feel free to call 811 as needed.



Sincerely,


<Name of MEDICAL HEALTH OFFICER OR PUBLIC HEALTH DESIGNATE>
