So when you test positive for covid you’re supposed to get a confirmation call from the CDC but I’ve noticed something about how they’re doing it. My brother, my parents, and I all tested positive. We all get our CDC calls. They’re required to make contact with you, so if you miss the call, they call again later. When I was contacted, I had to verify my info and be told I was confirmed positive. My brother and both of my parents got their CDC calls, it was roughly 10 seconds of silence and they get hung up on. They’re then marked off of as having been contacted and aren’t called again, despite not having to verify patient info or be told anything. Just silence.
I had COVID last month, tested positive around November 21 and nobody called me at any point
If you go through Project Baseline, a global project that most pharmacies and pop-up testing sites use, you get your results via email and then a day or two later a representative from the CDC or (usually) whatever national agency you have will contact you if you are positive. If you go through something like a doctors office, your results will likely be sent to a local site and you will only be contacted by your local doctor.
