- Healthcare Providers

• Please refer to the below guidance from our Colusa County Health Officer, Dr. Gregory Burt, as we try to maintain testing supplies due to the nationwide shortage.

  • Asymptomatic patients require no testing.

  • Asymptomatic patients who had "contact" with a patient with COVID-19 require no testing.

  • Symptomatic patients with risk factors may be offered testing as determined by the treating provider. These tests will go to a commercial laboratory.

  • Please refer to the CDC website: Criteria to Guide Evaluation and Laboratory Testing for COVID-19.

  • CDC criteria include considering epidemiologic factors such as documented COVID-19 infections in a community and known community transmission. Clinicians are strongly encouraged to test for other causes of respiratory illness (e.g., influenza).

• Currently only the following patients are being tested through Colusa County Public Health and the Sacramento Public Health Lab:

  • Heath Care Workers, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), or other first responders who are symptomatic with fever and respiratory symptoms unexplained by other testing, e.g. negative influenza test.

  • Patients requiring hospitalization with respiratory symptoms unexplained by other testing.

  • Congregate living environments (SNF, JAIL, ETC).
