As the number of COVID-19 cases continues to grow, we realize you may have questions regarding positive cases within the Town of Trumbull.  Please refer to some of the Frequently Asked Questions below:

Question:           What information will be released if someone tests positive for COVID-19 in Trumbull? 

Answer:              Due to HIPAA laws, we are required to protect the privacy of any individual with a communicable disease.  The Trumbull Health Department is allowed to release the age and gender of the individual.

Question:           Will I be notified if I had contact with the individual?

Answer:              Due to the number of COVID-19 cases and its ongoing community transmission, contact tracing of potentially exposed individuals is not being conducted.  Whether or not a positive individual chooses to share their results is up to them.  Hospitals and physicians are providing those who test positive with guidance and requirements from the Centers for Disease Control and the State Department of Public Health to ensure they remain home for at least 14 days.

Question:           What if I think I was exposed to a positive individual?    Resource: When to Self-Isolate vs. Self-Quarantine vs. Practice Social Distancing (PDF)
