Announcement from the the Dutchess County Health Department
You may be able to shorten your quarantine
Based on CDC guidance, NYS DOH authorization, and local health department review, residents have the option to “test out of quarantine.” Quarantine can end after day 7 with a negative test result (test must occur on day 5 or later) and no reported symptoms. Alternatively, quarantine can end after day 10 without testing.
Steps to Test out of Quarantine
- Get a COVID-19 test on day 5 or later of quarantine. Rapid & PCR tests accepted.
- Upon receiving a negative test result, immediately send result to TestOut@dutchessny.gov.
- Wait for a release from quarantine letter from the Dutchess County Department of Behavioral and Community Health. Letter turn around is usually 24 hours from submission. Note, it may take up to 36 hours during non business hours (weekends).
- Quarantine ends after day 7 or later with a release from quarantine letter. However, if you do not have the release letter you must continue to quarantine through day 10.
- Continue monitoring for symptoms through day 14
- For assistance call the COVID-19 information line at 845-486-3555.
