If you are exposed to COVID-19:

• Instead of quarantining, wear a high quality mask for 10 days and get tested on day 5.

If you have COVID-19 symptoms and are awaiting test results:

• Isolate if you are sick and suspect you have COVID-19 but do not yet have test results.
   

  • When you receive your test results and they are positive:

    • Stay home for at least 5 days and isolate from others in your home.  You are likely most infectious during these first 5 days.  For additional information, visit the CDC Quarantine and Isolation calculator.

      • If you had no symptoms
        • Day 0 is the day you were tested (not the day you received your positive test result)
        • Day 1 is the first full day following the day you were tested
      • If you had symptoms
        • Day 0 of isolation is the day of symptom onset, regardless of when you tested positive
        • Day 1 is the first full day after the day your symptoms started
           

    • Wear a high-quality mask when you must be around others at home and in public

    • If after 5 days you are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of medication and your symptoms are improving or you never had symptoms, you may end isolation.
      • Avoid being around people who are more likely to get very sick from COVID-19 until at least day 11.
      • Wear a high-quality mask through day 10.
      • If your COVID-19 symptoms worsen, restart your isolation at day 0. Talk to a healthcare provider if you have questions about your symptoms or when to end isolation.
         

  • When you receive your results are they are negative:

    • You can end your isolation
