EXPANDED DETAILS
Presumed or confirmed COVID positive patient This pathway is intended to be followed for patients who:
• Presumed or confirmed COVID positive, or
• Have ILI symptoms, until a swab result is obtained, or
• Patients with a negative swab that present with strong clinical suspicion
The false negative rate of COVID-19 swab testing is extremely low but does occur. Well executed swabbing
technique increases the sensitivity of the test. Thus, false negatives usually occur to due improper specimen
collection. It is imperative that proper swabbing technique be used Information can be found under: testing
information at www.ahs.ca/covidPHC
Likewise, if a patient’s clinical course is suggestive for COVID-19, despite a negative swab, the primary care pathway
should be followed. This is especially true in higher risk individuals where late presentation of complications is more
common and greater vigilance warranted. Regardless, all persons with ILI symptoms should isolate for a minimum of
10 days from the start of symptoms or until symptoms resolve, whichever is longer.
Variants of Concern (VoC) Variants of concern now make up the majority of cases in Alberta. Isolation and quarantine requirements (see below)
remain unchanged and are the same for all VoC and non-VoC cases.
Virtual appointment information
It is recommended to follow patients with COVID-19 symptoms in primary care, through virtual means. Information
about virtual care can be found at: https://www.albertadoctors.org/leaders-partners/ehealth/virtual-care
Establish/confirm date that symptoms first appeared
Establishing the date of symptom onset is important for establishing the release date from isolation. The duration of
isolation is a minimum of 10 days from the onset of symptoms or until symptoms resolve – whichever is longer.
Risk Stratification High Risk Average Risk Lower Risk Patients with any of the safety net flags 40-60 years old with no medical
comorbidities
Otherwise healthy adults
Patients with symptom deterioration Pregnant women No comorbidities
Any age with medical comorbidities No safety net flags
Age > 60 Age 1-39 years old with no
medical comorbidities
Safety Net Flags
• Socially isolated (Lives alone, unable to connect with others through technology, little to no social network)
• Lack of caregiver support if needed
Last updated: June 17, 2021 Page 3 of 11 Back to algorithm
• Inability to maintain hydration (Diarrhea, vomiting, cognitive impairment, poor fluid intake)
• Food/financial insecurity
• Receive homecare support
• Challenges with health literacy or ability to understand treatment recommendations or isolation expectations.
• Unable to self-manage
Isolation and quarantine information 1. Albertans are legally required to isolate for 10 days from symptom onset or until symptoms resolve (whichever is
longer) if they:
a) Tested positive for COVID-19
b) Have core COVID-19 symptoms that are not related to a pre-existing illness or health condition (e.g. cough,
fever, shortness of breath, loss of sense of taste or smell) AND do not get tested OR are waiting for a test result
c) Children under 18 are exempt from mandatory 10-day isolation for runny nose or sore throat but should still stay
home for 24 hours or until their symptoms are gone (whichever is longer) before they go back to school or have
contact with others.
2. Albertans are legally required to quarantine for 14 days if they:
a) Return to or enter Alberta from outside Canada (unless they are participating in the International Border Testing
Pilot Program, which is not currently active: https://www.alberta.ca/international-border-pilot-project.aspx)
b) Are an unvaccinated close contact of a COVID-19 case (someone who has tested positive). The quarantine
period is 14 days from the last day of close contact, even if they test negative for COVID-19. Additional
information for close contacts, including a detailed definition can be found at
https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/topics/Page17221.aspx.
If a close contact tests positive for COVID-19 or develops core symptoms, their 14-day quarantine no longer
applies, and an isolation period begins. This period is for of 10 days from the positive test date (if asymptomatic)
or from the date of symptom onset. If symptoms persist longer than 10 days, the isolation period extends until
symptoms have resolved.
If the close contact is:
• Partially vaccinated (1 dose >14 days ago, or <14 days from 2nd dose) and no symptoms: they must
quarantine for 10 days and should get tested. If the test is negative after day 7 from exposure, quarantine can
end on day 10. If they test negative before day seven, they must have another negative test to end
quarantine.
• Partially vaccinated (one dose >14 days ago or <14 days from 2nd dose) and has symptoms: They must isolate
and be tested. If they test negative before day seven, you must continue to quarantine for the full 10 days
(from exposure). If they test negative after day seven, and symptoms resolve, quarantine can end.
•
Isolation and quarantine requirements: https://www.alberta.ca/isolation.aspx#requirements
Household close contacts: The prevalence in VoC has changed quarantine requirements of household close
contacts. The last day of exposure for household close contacts depends on whether the case is able to isolate
adequately away from the household close contacts. The last date of exposure occurs when the case is able to
either completely remain away from others in their home (with own bathroom and bedroom), or they have moved
Last updated: June 17, 2021 Page 4 of 11 Back to algorithm
into an isolation hotel. If the case is unable to do this, the household close contacts must quarantine for the
duration of the case’s isolation period and continue for 14 days after the last day of exposure (i.e., the last day of
isolation for the case).
3. Vaccinated or partially vaccinated Albertans: Effective Thursday, May 20, 2021, isolation and quarantine
requirements were relaxed for vaccinated Albertans who were exposed to a COVID-19 case. Fully vaccinated
Albertans, who have received both doses in a two-dose vaccine series (or one in a single dose vaccine series) at
least two weeks prior to the last exposure:
• Are no longer required to quarantine, if they are asymptomatic
• If they are symptomatic, they must isolate for 10 days, and should get tested. Isolation may end early if they test
negative.
Isolation and quarantine requirements: https://www.alberta.ca/isolation.aspx#requirements
4. Albertans are NOT legally required to isolate if they have ILI (influenza-like illness) symptoms AND test negative
for COVID-19 AND have NO known exposure to the virus, but they cannot return to school or work until ILI
symptoms resolve.
Isolation and quarantine requirements: https://www.alberta.ca/isolation.aspx#requirements
Isolation for children who attend school AHS published an online resource that will undergo regular updates as isolation requirements for school children
evolve: Guidance for Parents of Children Attending School and/or Childcare. The recommendations in this resource
align with the most current Government of Alberta isolation requirements. However, school boards may establish
additional isolation guidelines that evolve over time. All caregivers are encouraged to consult the isolation
requirements outlined by the school board that oversees their child’s school.
a) For a child who experiences fever, cough, shortness of breath, or loss of sense of smell or taste as a
symptom that is new, worsening, or not related to other known causes, refer to this algorithm
https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/assets/info/ppih/if-ppih-covid-19-school-journey-a-symptoms.pdf
b) For a child who does NOT experience fever, cough, shortness of breath, or loss of sense of smell or taste but
who DOES experience chills, sore throat, painful swallowing, runny nose, congestion, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, unexplained loss of appetite, muscle or joint aches, headache, or conjunctivitis (pink eye) as a symptom that is new, worsening, or not related to other known causes, refer to this algorithm:
https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/assets/info/ppih/if-ppih-covid-19-school-journey-b-symptoms.pdf
c) For a child who does NOT have COVID-19 symptoms and has been identified as a close contact of a confirmed
case of COVID-19, refer to this algorithm: https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/assets/info/ppih/if-ppih-covid-19-
school-journey-close-contact.pdf . If the child is immunized or partially immunized, quarantine changes in the
following ways:
d) Partially vaccinated (1 dose >14 days ago, or <14 days from 2nd dose) and no symptoms: they must quarantine
for 10 days and should get tested. If the test is negative after day 7 from exposure, quarantine can end on day
10. If they test negative before day 7, they must have another negative test to end quarantine.
e) Partially vaccinated (1 dose >14 days ago or <14 days from 2nd dose) and has symptoms: They must isolate and
be tested. If they test negative before day 7, you must continue to quarantine for the full 10 days (from
exposure). If they test negative after day 7, and symptoms resolve, quarantine can end. Isolation and quarantine
requirements: https://www.alberta.ca/isolation.aspx#requirements
Last updated: June 17, 2021 Page 5 of 11 Back to algorithm
f) For a child who does NOT have COVID-19 symptoms, they can continue to go to school or childcare. If the child
is notified that they have been in close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 or if the child experiences any
COVID-19 symptoms, then refer to the appropriate algorithm above.

Management of resolved cases Studies have demonstrated prolonged detection of COVID-19 even after symptoms have resolved. However, in most
cases detection does not reflect infectious virus. Due to uncertainty regarding immunity after infection and the
possible risk of reinfection, resolved cases should take the same precautions to avoid infection as those who have
never had COVID-19. Generally, resolved cases should not be re-tested for COVID-19 within 90 days of the initial
positive test result. However, if the resolved case develops COVID-19 symptoms within 90 days, testing for other
pathogens should be considered depending on symptoms and the setting. Management should be based on
symptoms and diagnosis. The latest information on guidelines can be found here:
https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/a86d7a85-ce89-4e1c-9ec6-d1179674988f/resource/40ac3420-fd95-42ca-b838-

Self-monitoring information and resources At this time, patients and families should be directed to AHS for resources around self-monitoring information. This
can be found here: https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/topics/Page17026.aspx

There is increasing evidence that smoking cessation may help to reduce the impact of COVID-19. Patient information
and supports can be found at https://www.albertaquits.ca/topics/smoking-vaping-covid-19.
Patients should also be counseled on advanced care planning, including: choosing an agent, communicating their
values and documenting these in a Personal Directive. Information can be found at www.conversationsmatter.ca.
Red Flags
• Severe shortness of breath at rest
• Difficulty breathing
• Pain or pressure in chest
• Cold, clammy or pale molted skin
• New onset of confusion
• Blue lips or face
• Becoming difficult to rouse
• Coughing up blood
• Reduced urine output
• Return of cough after period of improvement* may signal development of COVID pneumonia
• Return of fever after afebrile period* may signal development of COVID pneumonia
• Oxygen Saturation
o Helpful tool to indicate disease severity when available
o If previously healthy lungs or previously documented normal O2 sat – a new reading of < 92% is a red flag
o If underlying lung disease with documented low normal O2 sat at baseline – a new reading of < 90% is a red
flag
o If patient on home oxygen normally and their O2 requirements increase with COVID illness – this is a red flag
Red Flags: More information Emergent Management Call 9-1-1 if –
• Patient has impaired level of consciousness
• Patient has severe respiratory distress (documented hypoxia, breathless at
rest, unable to speak in short sentences)
• New weakness with inability to ambulate independently
Urgent < 1-hour Assessment
Call RAAPID South at 1-800-661-1700 or 403-944-4486 if:
• Patient clinically stable (see Emergent Management criteria)
• You feel the patient needs to be seen in Urgent Care or Emergency
Department to be assessed for possible admission
Urgent < 1-hour daytime advice
Use specialistlink.ca COVID-19 advice line if:
• Patient clinically stable (see Emergent Management criteria)
Last updated: June 17, 2021 Page 7 of 11 Back to algorithm
• You are unsure of the best course of management in a deteriorating patient who
is clinically stable
• The advice you seek is NOT about public health issues like quarantine advice
and contact management (email [email protected])
Semi-Urgent < 24-hour assessment in residence
Community Paramedics program
• Consider if patient needs in home assessment of O2 sat, vitals or fluid therapy
• MAY be limited by available resources – if so, consider calling RAAPID or using
specialistlink.ca
Community palliative care paramedic program (EMS Palliative and End of Life
Care Assess, Treat and Refer)
• Utilize if patient C1 or C2
• For end of life, supportive comfort care in the home that has been discussed
and agreed to by patient/family
Breathing Assessment Questions • How is your breathing?
• Is it worse today than yesterday?
• What does your breathing prevent you from doing?
Follow-up Patients with presumed or confirmed COVID-19 MUST self-isolate for a minimum of 10 days after the onset of
symptoms or until symptoms are gone, whichever is longer. Following this period, patients are generally considered
to be able to return to activities as tolerated. Patients should still use the same precautions to avoid infection or
reinfection. For non-urgent COVID-19 questions, eReferral Advice Request is available via Alberta Netcare. This is
for non-urgent questions requiring advice within 2-5 days. More details are available in the Provider Resources
section.
For symptoms persisting longer than 14 days from onset If Public Health has discharged a patient from isolation that you feel should still be isolating, consider:
• Public Health has the legal responsibility to require citizens who are diagnosed with COVID-19 to isolate and to
release them from this requirement when they are no longer deemed at risk to spread the disease to others
• There should be alignment between the direction from Public Health and your advice to patients. When this
doesn’t happen, consider the following:
o Is there agreement between your records and Public Health identification of the date of symptom onset?
o The patient discloses medical information to you that is unavailable to Public Health (example - the presence
of ongoing symptoms which would compel you to suggest continued isolation)
o If you are unsure of whether to advise your patient to continue isolation beyond the date identified by Public
Health, you can obtain advice from Public Health at 403-264-5615.

Patients should continue to be monitored until symptom remission. Isolation should continue for 10 days after
symptom onset OR until core symptoms have cleared, whichever is longer. If the patient remains symptomatic after
10 days, they should be monitored for an additional four days – a total of two weeks after symptoms started. They
should continue to isolate. Many patients experience ongoing symptoms past 14 days, such as residual cough or
fatigue. If these patients have clearly improved, these residual symptoms can likely be managed with conservative
care and reassurance. If patients have persistent, increased, or new onset of severe or worrisome symptoms such as
chest pain, dyspnea, or fever, contact Specialist LINK to discuss further.
For patients with respiratory symptoms that have persisted for more than 12 weeks after onset of illness, please refer
to a COVID-19 Follow Up Clinic. The Peter Lougheed Centre and Rockyview General Hospital COVID-19 Follow-up
Clinics evaluate people with respiratory symptoms that persist beyond 12 weeks after documented COVID-19
infection. Referrals from a health practitioner such as a family physician, other specialist physician, or nurse
practitioner can be sent to this clinic through Pulmonary Central Access and Triage by fax at 403-592-4201 or by
eReferral with indication of Post-COVID clinic. More information on this clinic and referral criteria can be found at
https://www.specialistlink.ca/files/COVID19_Resp_clinic_RGH.pdf. Patients primarily experiencing fatigue,
psychological symptoms, or neurological problems will not be assessed in this clinic but can be referred to the
appropriate specialties.
A Rehabilitation Advice Line is also available for patients and providers at 1-833-379-0563. Callers from anywhere in
Alberta can receive advice on post-COVID rehabilitation needs, such as returning to daily activities, support with
exercises/strengthening programs, and getting assistance with finding in person or virtual rehabilitation programs. For
