What should you do if your at-home COVID test results come back positive?
After isolating for at least five days and showing no symptoms, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this week, the Cook County Health Department said patients should get another COVID test.
As more people gear up for New Year's Eve celebrations this weekend, Arwady asked that anyone who believes they could have COVID waiting for test results stay home for the holiday. "The symptoms that we're seeing are not different with omicron than they were with delta, than they were with the original. It's just that we are seeing more what we call breakthrough infections," Arwady said."So the vaccines continue to protect, but not as well against infection, although they continue to protect beautifully against severe illness."
The unvaccinated, however, are experiencing similar symptoms to early on in the pandemic, Arwady said.
