Stockbridge-Munsee Health and Wellness Center Recommendation regarding COVID-19 testing

On August 25, the CDC revised its website to indicate that asymptomatic people who have been in close contact of a person with COVID-19 do not necessarily need a test, “unless you are a vulnerable individual or your health provider or State or local public health officials recommend you take one.”

At this time, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) continues to recommend that ALL persons who were in close contact with a person infected with COVID-19 (defined as being within 6 feet for at least 15 minutes) should be tested, regardless of symptoms.

The Stockbridge-Munsee Health and Wellness Center is in agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) that ALL persons who were in close contact with a person infected with COVID-19 (defined as being within 6 feet for at least 15 minutes) should be tested, regardless of symptoms.

The Stockbridge-Munsee Health and Wellness Center requires a COVID-19 test for all close contacts at the beginning of their 14-day isolation period
