Follow the latest CDC guidance for updated isolation and quarantine periods.

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.

As more information becomes available from the CDC, specific guidance for the above individuals and settings will be posted on this website.

Note: Individuals with COVID 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. Individuals with COVID should not return to work unless they have a room to eat by themselves. Employers cannot require individuals with COVID to return to work if they cannot provide a safe space for them to eat without exposing others.

The City of Philadelphia has issued several emergency orders during the COVID-19 pandemic.

To increase the availability of free rapid testing in the community, the Health Department has procured additional supplies of at-home test kits for distribution to residents through the community-based organization rapid test kit distribution program.

The Coronavirus Interim Racial Equity Plan summarizes what the Health Department knows about racial and ethnic inequities and COVID-19, and what we are doing and planning to reduce those disparities.

In response to the Office of the Inspector General and as directed by the Mayor, the Health Department has strengthened the oversight of the COVID-19 vaccination effort and vaccine providers to ensure that all current and future partners deliver vaccine in a safe, equitable, and professional manner.
