FAQ

You are generally considered infectious from 48 hours before your symptoms started or from testing positive if you have no symptoms. You may still be infectious for as long as you have symptoms, like fever, cough, shortness of breath, runny nose and sore throat. This may last for up to 10 days.

If you have tested positive, there are important steps you can take to help keep yourself and those around you safe: Seek COVID-19 treatment immediately if you have symptoms.​ Isolate by staying home and away from other people.​ Wear a mask when around other people indoors.​ Take precautions and inform your contacts.

Updated Guidance: The updated Respiratory Virus Guidance recommends that people stay home and away from others until at least 24 hours after both their symptoms are getting better overall, and they have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).

Once a COVID-19 case is identified at the workplace, the employer must: If the individual is symptomatic, immediately exclude the case from the workplace until they meet all return to work criteria (see Exclusion Requirements and Return to Work below). If the case is asymptomatic, exclusion is not required.

Stay home for 5 days. After that continue to wear a mask around others for 5 additional days. If you can't quarantine you must wear a mask for 10 days.

Stopping the Spread of COVID-19 to Others Stay home unless you need medical care. Don't go to work or school and avoid public places like stores. Stay away from others. Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Call your close contacts.

You have had no fever for at least 72 hours (that is three full days of no fever without the use medicine that reduces fevers) AND. Other symptoms have improved (for example, when your cough or shortness of breath have improved) AND. At least seven days have passed since your symptoms first appeared.

If they test positive or their doctor diagnoses them with COVID-19, they must be excluded from the workplace and follow Table 1. If the employee tests negative and returns to work, the employee should continue to wear a well-fitting mask around others indoors for 10 days following the close contact.

If the day 6-, 7-, 8-, or 9-day test comes back negative, whichever day comes first, you can return to work the following day, pending resolving symptoms and no fever for 24 hours. If your day 6-, 7-, 8-, or 9- test comes back positive, you must remain in isolation until the following day.
