Washington University has updated its COVID-19 testing guidelines, in accordance with new guidance from the CDC for those who are vaccinated.
Those who have had a significant exposure — been unmasked within 6 feet of someone with COVID-19 for at least 15 minutes — should call the BJC/WashU Med employee hotline for COVID-19 exposure or illness at 314-362-5056 to report the exposure and arrange for testing. Those who are vaccinated should receive COVID-19 testing three to seven days after exposure; those who are unvaccinated should receive testing five to seven days after an exposure.
