Isolation and quarantine guidance
Follow the latest CDC guidance for isolation timing if you tested positive for COVID-19 or have COVID-19 symptoms and have not tested. You will also find guidance on what to do if you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19.
This guidance applies to the general public. It does not apply to:
- Healthcare workers.
- People who work or live in congregate settings.
- Schools, daycares, and other childcare settings.
- Confinement facilities.
Note: Individuals with COVID-19 are most likely to transmit infection in the first 5 days after symptoms start or after their positive test. People who leave isolation after 5 days should be fever free and with improving symptoms. They must wear a mask at all times when around others and must eat in a space separate from others for an additional 5 days.
