Positive Covid-19 antibody test could require isolation, public health nurse warns

Some residents are getting tested for the antibodies to the Covid-19 virus to see if they’ve already been infected, but some of them get an unpleasant surprise: mandatory isolation if the result is positive, even if they feel fine.

Tricia McGean, Lincoln’s public health nurse, gets the result whenever a Lincoln resident is tested either for a current infection, or for antibodies indicating that they were infected earlier. The infection test uses a nasal swab and is sometimes referred to as a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test.

Serological blood tests for Covid-19 antibodies have recently become available, and some people have taken that test to see if they’d already had the infection, with or without symptoms. “A couple of people told me they did it for fun,” she said.

However, new guidelines handed down late last week by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health require people who test positive for Covid-19 antibodies to immediately self-isolate (even from family members) for at least 10 days — unless they previously had a positive PCR test. For those who never had a PCR test, they can get that test after their antibody test. If that PCR result is then negative, they don’t need to continue isolating — but until the test result comes back, they must isolate. This is because, depending on the types of Covid-19 antibodies they have, they actually might be recovering from a recent infection (even without symptoms) and could still spread the virus.

As soon as McGean learns of a positive antibody result by a Lincoln resident, she’s required to contact the person and order them to isolate. She must also interview them about close contacts and quarantine those close contacts for 14 days.

“This is not going over very well, as you can imagine,” she said at her weekly Covid-19 update to the Board of Selectmen this week. “We weren’t expecting this. They change guidances quite frequently, so hopefully this won’t be the end guidance.”

Relatively few people who weren’t feeling sick got PCR testing until recently because the test was hard to obtain earlier during the pandemic, but they’re more accessible now, McGean added. 
This summary sheet explains the required public heath responses to test result scenarios. It acknowledges that the guidelines are conservative due to uncertainty about the quality of the various antibody test types as well as the unknown timing of Covid antibody development or duration. “This guidance will change as we learn more about antibody responses to Covid,” the sheet says. 

Here’s a brief Q&A with McGean about timing for those who are thinking about getting a Covid-19 antibody test:

Q. How does my antibody test result get conveyed to the town’s public health nurse?

A. Just like Covid-19 infection results, this happens through the state’s MAVEN website. A majority of my day is spent on this website, so once it’s uploaded, I usually see it quite quickly.

Q. How quickly can I get a PCR test, and where?

A. That’s the million-dollar question, but there are many resources online where you can go for testing. I don’t do them myself.

Q. How soon after I have the PCR test will we receive the result?

A. Usually fairly quickly. It depends if the lab calls the patient or the doctor who ordered it or me when the result comes into MAVEN.

Q. Do I have to self-isolate while I wait?

A. Yes. If your antibody test is positive [and you didn’t have a positive PCR test result before that], you have to be in isolation until we get the PCR test back. The turnaround time for PCR testing has been much quicker recently, with often a 24- to 48-hour turnaround time.

Covid-19 rates still climbing in area towns

[lgc_column grid=”50″ tablet_grid=”50″ mobile_grid=”100″ last=”false”]
The latest town-by-town data show that Lincoln has the lowest rate of growth in the rate of Covid-19 infections among bordering towns over the past month.
Every town except Lincoln is still increasing in its rate of infection per 100,000 people, according to weekly figures released by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. In the past week, Bedford, Weston, and Sudbury have increased at the fastest clip. Bedford has by far the highest rate of infection, while Lexington has the most total cases because it has the largest population among the seven towns.[/lgc_column]

Police nab youths who put tree limbs in road

Two Lincoln youths were caught by police after dragging heavy objects into the road in the early morning hours, and they’ll now face juvenile court proceedings.

Police found and removed limbs and erosion-control straw tubes that were deliberately placed in the middle of Lincoln Road and Ballfield Road on April 21 at 2:30 a.m. The same thing happened four more times on April 30 between 3:34 a.m. and 5 a.m., and another three times on May 4 between 4:40 and 5:30 a.m. In one instance, an officer on patrol realized something was wrong when he saw the car in front of him suddenly swerve into the oncoming lane to avoid the obstacle, Chief of Police Kevin Kennedy said.

“We had an idea who was doing it” after some of the earlier incidents, Kennedy said. Police subsequently had “conversations” with several youths and their parents, to explain that their “juvenile prank” could cause a crash or damage to a vehicle. But on Monday night this week, two of the juveniles were caught placing more objects in the road again. They will be summonsed to Middlesex Juvenile Court for throwing an object onto a public way. Their names and ages were not released by police.

Lincolnites reflect on how the pandemic has affected their lives

Earlier this month, the Lincoln Squirrel asked readers to share their thoughts on what’s changed for them since the Covid-19 lockdown began. Here are some of their responses.

One of the dolls that Ellen Morgan kitted out for her granddaughter (click to enlarge).

From Ellen Morgan:

My granddaughter, Dorothy Grubler, lives in Hudson, N.Y. She is four and a half and worried — all her dolls are sick and in bed, and she is short on hospital beds. So I made them all masks and gowns. I sent them to her since I can’t visit.

From Sharon Antia:

I’ve been surprised at how quickly the titles I have on hold through Minuteman Library Network have become available, and then I made the connection. Everyone must be home catching up on their reading so we are all cycling through our reading lists quicker.

I miss my grandchildren.

My house gets dirty a lot quicker when I’m home all day.

I love being home.

It’s hard not to just run into Donelan’s for this or that. I’m not good at planning a week or two’s menu and shopping all at once, and though I happily live off rice and beans, I prefer to have fresh fruits and vegetables to go along with them.

I do not watch the news — well, except I try to catch Governor Cuomo — and I watch “The Tonight Show” the next day on Hulu (OK, this is not the news but it is as close I currently allow myself to news). Other than that I read the Globe and the Times. Watching the news leaves me with a feeling of hopelessness. I miss listening to public radio but refrain for the same reason as above.

Making and distributing masks to family, friends, and neighbors gives me the opportunity to feel like I’m at least doing something to help.

I’ve been taking advantage of yoga classes online, live music, Zoom, and talking to my siblings more than usual.

I subscribed to “In Ayr’s Kitchen” on YouTube. Our neighbor, Ayer Muir, owner of the Clover restaurants, has an almost daily show telling us how to use our pantry items. I either watch him live or the next day. Have made many of his recipes, all with much success.

Tucker Smith has been creating a “Good News” wall in her house along with a bingo card to remind herself and others to look for the good things happening around us in this uncertain time.

From Jennifer Glass:

Something I’ve really enjoyed is spending time on Lincoln’s trails. We walked from our house to Walden Pond last weekend — something we never took the time to do before now. In addition, it’s been great to get to some of the organizational projects that always fall to the bottom of the to-do list. I also think the garden/yard will get much more attention this year.

Frozen fruit and flour have been harder to find at Donelan’s. We are grateful that Codman has really risen to the occasion and we will continue to be frequent shoppers there even when the restrictions lift.

This is definitely a challenging time for college students who miss being on campus. The work continues to be rigorous, but the experience is not the same. On the other hand, there’s been lots of positive sister time.

I work part-time at the Grasshopper Shop in Concord. I miss being there, interacting with customers and ordering crazy socks. And while it’s convenient to have town-related meetings from home, I do miss the in-person interaction.

“Life has changed in tremendous ways,” said David Levington, an independent-living resident at The Commons in Lincoln. No one can have visitors. Staff members take requests and leave meals and groceries outside residents’ doors, and his daughter drops off items for him outside his porch. He ventures out only to walk his dog and drop off bags of trash.

The only thing that compares to the Covid-19 pandemic, Levington said, is the Blizzard of ’78, which happened when he was the superintendent at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School. The storm caught the region mostly unprepared, killing dozens, stranding hundreds inside their cars on roads and highways, and paralyzing the Northeast for a week.

“The whole town was shut down, but there was an old civil defense hospital area in the school basement back from the Sputnik days,” Levington recalled. “There were lots of cots; they were thinking of making L-S a refuge, but in the end they didn’t.”

One of his biggest challenges in the immediate aftermath of the blizzard emergency was making sure the off-campus students were safe and could get home. L-S in those days encouraged internships, “alternate semesters,” and other study-away opportunities. “We had a student studying in Montreal who couldn’t get home, one kid interning with the mayor in Philadelphia, and one in a yurt in Colorado,” he said. “The French Club was in Montreal — the teacher had maxed out her credit card and didn’t know what to do.”

As illnesses and deaths mount and restrictions on people’s lives continue for months, the pandemic’s effects will be felt for far longer than a natural disaster. “A blizzard is discrete — it has a beginning and an end,” Levington noted. “This is really not comparable.”
