!!! Attention !!!
Due to the increase in cases, our capacity to investigate cases in a timely manner is no longer possible. If you test positive for COVID-19, please do not wait for us to call you to start isolation. You should isolate if you have symptoms or as soon as you are tested. Isolation means you do not go to work, to school, or leave your home with the exception of a medical or family emergency. While home, anyone sick or infected should separate themselves from others by staying in a specific “sick room” or area and using a separate bathroom (if available). Start making a contact list for "close contacts" that you have been around 48 hours prior to symptom onset. Let your contacts know that they may have been exposed. Close contacts should also quarantine until test results are available.
***What is a close contact? It is when you are within 6 feet, for more than a total of 15 minutes, of a person who has tested positive for COVID-19.***

CDC Quarantine Guidelines
The CDC quarantine guidelines are 14 days after the last day of exposure to a positive COVID-19 case. This has not changed. There are new “options” for Local Public Health Authorities to choose from, if warranted. At this time the BCHC will continue to follow CDC guidelines, which still state the 14 day quarantine.

COVID-19 hotspot Advisory
This is a situational summary from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) regarding increases in COVID-19 cases across Missouri.
In recent weeks, nearby counties in Southwest Missouri have experienced a surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. The increase of COVID-19 cases continues to move toward eastward. The Delta variant is the predominant cause of these cases. The DHSS is creating hotspot advisories in partnership with the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Missouri Hospital Association for counties across the state to give insight to community leaders to help overcome vaccine hesitancy and encourage community members to get vaccinated. Getting vaccinated is the best way to control the spread of this disease.
An advisory for Bollinger and Madison counties is posted here. These advisories show cases and hospitalizations are increasing. The COVID-19 vaccination rate in the counties is below the state rate of 46.6%. Please share the hotspot advisory with those in your community including local leaders, government officials, businesses, faith-based organizations, and other partners. COVID-19 vaccine is widely available and can be found by going to MOStopsCovid.com or VaccineFinder.org.
Covid Stops Here, a new campaign launched by the Missouri Chamber, recognizes Missouri workplaces that have achieved widespread vaccination. Click here to register your business and receive recognition to let your community know you are leading the fight against this virus.
Missouri recently launched a statewide COVID-19 vaccination incentive program, MO VIP, to encourage vaccination among all Missourians age 12 and up. Over the next couple of months, 900 Missourians who have or will choose to be vaccinated will win cash or education savings account prizes in the amount of $10,000. Additional details and registration can be found at here.

potential exposure locations
We, at the Bollinger County Health Center, will continue to keep our citizens informed of potential COVID-19 exposure locations where it is impossible to identify all individuals at risk. When possible, establishments are contacted prior to publication. Possible exposure locations will be updated as new information becomes available through investigations.
We ask everyone to be aware that all public locations have a potential risk for COVID-19 exposure. This is why social distancing, wearing a mask, and hand hygiene are important when you leave your home to slow the spread of COVID-19.
It has been shown that Children and Adolescents are more susceptible to contract the Delta Variant of COVID-19 than previous strains. School Districts can be a possible place of exposure due to the high rate of transmission of the Delta Variant.
