I still haven’t gotten my test results for Covid 19 yet!

I guess I’m not going to work today. I emailed the lab course to see what “not detected” actually met. I think I’m negative but could be wrong. What I am I supposed to do? I’m stressing! Should I go to work today or call in saying I haven’t gotten the results yet and I should continue to self quarantine. I couldn’t sleep last night.

Call your boss and explain exactly what happened. Then the two of you can figure out if you should go in.

Have you considered they are extremely busy?

ElizabethBabe1994 · 31-35, F

@SW-User Yes I’m aware of that but it said “not detected”

@ElizabethBabe1994 it is a slow process, better to be safe than sorry

@SW-User yeah that’s true because a lot of people are saying I should call into work but I don’t wanna do a stupid thing. Should I just call them and tell them that I’m not coming in? I think that’s what I’ll do

You can go to work. "Not detected" can means many thing. But the positive law said: Presume innocent until found guilty.

So it is valid that you go to work while the result is unclear.

Call in to work

@mondayschild2 I will but I gotta make sure before it’s safe for me to go back.

@ElizabethBabe1994 I understand because I work in a medical facility. Usually you don't hear anything if you are negative but you are right to take all the precautions.👍

@ChemDawg My boss told me if I am up for it but call my health care provider to make sure. I tried to call but they don’t open until 8am. I tried calling the front office of my job twice and they won’t answer. I tried calling my boss but she won’t answer. I’m outside walking to the bus and I’m stressing. Nobody is answering

@ElizabethBabe1994 I'm sure that under these circumstances your boss will be understanding if you're late
