days following an exposure.
Testing is available through Mason General Hospital. If you are experiencing any symptoms, contact the COVID-19 Respiratory Illness Triage Line at 360-427-3615. The Health Clinic is asking for your help to track the spread of COVID-19 through the community. If you have tested for COVID-19 recently, whether you test positive or negative, please call and inform them of the results of the test at 360-426-5755
Vaccine: Moderna Vaccine is available to ALL Skokomish community members over the age of 18. Please contact the Health Clinic for information regarding vaccine availability at 360-968-9952 or 360-545-2637.
Personal Protective Equipment: PPE is available through the Skokomish Tribal Health Clinic. This includes Cloth Masks, Disposable Masks, Sanitizer, Gloves, Cleaning Supplies, Eye Protection, Face Shields and More! Please call 360-968-9912 for your PPE needs. Isolation/Quarantine: Isolation is the separation of people who have tested positive for COVID-
19 from people who are not sick to prevent transmission. Isolation means you stay home and away from others (including household members) for the recommended period of time to avoid spreading illness. Quarantine takes place when people who were exposed to a positive case are separated and movement is restricted in case they become infected. Quarantine means you stay home and away from others for the recommended period of time in case you are infected and are contagious. Quarantine becomes isolation if you later test positive for COVID-19 or develop COVID-19 symptoms.
Anyone who has had a close contact with COVID-19 should get tested immediately and quarantine for 14 days. The COVID-19 Emergency Response Team is here to help provide you food, medicine and other needs while in isolation and quarantine. If you need assistance with isolation or quarantine due to COVID-19 call 360-968-9912
