A South Surrey woman is raising concerns over COVID-19 messaging, after receiving conflicting directions regarding isolation requirements.

Deb Antifaev told Peace Arch News she was tested for the virus on Sunday (Nov. 22) morning, after learning that several of her family members 香蕉视频直播� including two of her adult children and their spouses, as well as two of her grandchildren 香蕉视频直播� had all tested positive.

However, Fraser Health officials say it is a matter of 香蕉视频直播済eneral guidance香蕉视频直播� instructions versus follow-up on individual assessments.

Antifaev said paperwork from the collection centre stated that a positive test required a 10-day quarantine from the test date, however, 香蕉视频直播渢he health nurse was saying that香蕉视频直播檚 completely wrong,香蕉视频直播� of information provided to her son following his positive result.

He was told 香蕉视频直播溝憬妒悠抵辈�榠t香蕉视频直播檚 still a 14-day quarantine, and then if your kids don香蕉视频直播檛 test positive, then it香蕉视频直播檚 another 14 days after your 14 days, in case they do test positive at some time.香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈��

香蕉视频直播淪o that香蕉视频直播檚 basically a month,香蕉视频直播� she said Wednesday (Nov. 25). 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 not 10 days at all.

Those who test negative should also isolate for a further week after their test, the nurse advised, 香蕉视频直播渢o make sure you don香蕉视频直播檛 develop symptoms,香蕉视频直播� however, Antifaev said that that information was not on the form that she was sent home with.

香蕉视频直播淐ould we just get one thing straight?香蕉视频直播� she said. 香蕉视频直播淚s it 14 days? Is it 30 days? Is it from your diagnosis, or from the day we feel the symptoms? And if we香蕉视频直播檙e negative, why are we still isolating? How long does it take to show up in your nose?香蕉视频直播�

Antifaev tweeted her frustration with the messaging on Tuesday (Nov. 24), pleading for consistency in the instructions.

So, four of our family members, in have tested positive for and have all received different instructions from We need some consistency, please

The response it garnered was unexpected, she said.

In addition to sundry comments as well as interest from news outlets, 香蕉视频直播渆veryone kept retweeting it,香蕉视频直播� she said.

香蕉视频直播淪urely other people are finding the same experience. There香蕉视频直播檚 a lot of confusion.香蕉视频直播�

Her husband, Todd, agreed, describing information that香蕉视频直播檚 on the Fraser Health website regarding what to do as 香蕉视频直播渁bout as clear as mud.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淭here香蕉视频直播檚 no clear, concise, 香蕉视频直播榯his is it,香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈�� he said.

香蕉视频直播淩eally, the public health authority has to get their act together and give a clear direction.香蕉视频直播�

In an explanation emailed Nov. 27, Fraser Health told PAN that information distributed at the collection centres 香蕉视频直播減rovides general guidance,香蕉视频直播� while a case-by-case assessment 香蕉视频直播渢akes into account someone香蕉视频直播檚 exposure to COVID-19, which can modify how long someone needs to isolate.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淲hen an individual tests positive for COVID-19, Fraser Health Public Health will contact them directly with further instructions,香蕉视频直播� a spokesperson explained.

香蕉视频直播淲hen an individual tests negative for COVID-19 but has been exposed to someone with COVID-19, or has recently travelled outside of Canada, they are asked to self-isolate for 10 days from when they started feeling sick, or 14 days from the day they were exposed or returned to Canada (whichever is longer).

香蕉视频直播淲hen an individual tests negative for COVID-19, has not been exposed and has not recently travelled outside of Canada, they are asked to self-isolate until they feel better.香蕉视频直播�

The Antifaevs believe their family members香蕉视频直播� COVID-19 exposure occurred either at Peace Arch Hospital or at one of their grandchildren香蕉视频直播檚 schools.

Their home is near two schools and Deb Antifaev said she has been 香蕉视频直播渉orrified香蕉视频直播� to watch the degree of unmasked, close interaction occurring both on and around school grounds.

香蕉视频直播淗ow on earth did they think it wasn香蕉视频直播檛 going to spread?香蕉视频直播� she said.
