NC DHHS Guidance Around Discontinuation of Home Isolation, Patient Triage & Assessment, and Persons Under Investigation
These three documents provide guidance on patient management from the NC Department of Health and Human Services:
- NC DHHS Interim Guidance for Discontinuation of Home Isolation for Patients with Suspected or Confirmed Coronavirus
- NC DHHS Outpatient Triage and Assessment Guidance
- NC DHHS Guidance for Persons Under Investigation
Note, these resources were developed for North Carolina practices, but the recommendations are applicable and may be helpful to practices in other states as well.
All Curi recommendations are based on current CDC criteria at the time of publication. CDC guidance for SARS-CoV-2 infection may, or may not, be adopted by state and local health departments to respond to rapidly changing local circumstances. Providers should always check with their local health department to see if the CDC’s guidance on any given topic has been modified (particularly if more restrictive) from the CDC’s recommended guidelines. Follow this link https://www.cdc.gov/publichealthgateway/healthdirectories/index.html for contact information to your state/local health department. If local recommendations vary from those of the CDC, and you are unsure what recommendations to follow, then it is safer to follow the more restrictive guidelines/recommendations.
