FAQ
If you have symptoms, test immediately, and then test again per the instructions if your first result is negative. If you were exposed to someone who has COVID-19 and you do not have symptoms, wait at least 5 full days after your exposure before testing. If you test too early, you may have an inaccurate result.
That's why it makes sense to wait to take a test either until you have symptoms or until about five days after you've been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. Taking a test immediately after exposure doesn't do much good.
If possible, get tested five days after exposure. If you are not boosted or are unvaccinated, stay home for five days. Then, wear a mask around others for five more days. If staying home isn't possible, wear a mask for 10 days.

People with COVID-19 can be infectious from 1–2 days before and up to 8–10 days after symptoms begin. The majority of transmission appears to occur during the early periods of infection, particularly in the 1–2 days before symptoms start and within the first few days of symptom onset.
“In the early days of the pandemic, it was recommended to isolate for 10 days after having a positive COVID test. And then a few years ago, the CDC changed its recommendation: you could come out of isolation five days after receiving a positive test and wear a mask for the additional five days.”
You are considered contagious from two days before your symptoms begin until 10 days after your symptoms began. If you have no symptoms, you are considered contagious beginning two days before your test sample was collected and until 10 days after your test sample was collected.
