Taking Care of Yourself at Home Contact your healthcare provider. Tell them you tested positive for COVID-19 and are home recovering. Take it easy. Rest up and stay hydrated. Monitor your symptoms. Report worsening symptoms to your healthcare provider.
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).
Stay in self-quarantine for 10 days after your last exposure (unless you are fully vaccinated or tested positive for COVID-19 in the past and meet all criteria noted in the section above). Check daily for symptoms, wash hands, always wear a mask and stay at least 6 feet from others for 14 days.
Someone with COVID-19 is infectious from two days prior to developing symptoms and up to 10 days after their symptoms began. A positive case is most infectious for the two days before symptoms develop and during the time they have acute respiratory symptoms (cough, runny nose, sore throat, fever).
If you know you have been exposed to COVID-19, stay away from people who are at high risk of getting very sick for 5 days, if possible.
Most people no longer need to take a coronavirus test. You can still access testing if you have a health condition which means you're eligible for coronavirus treatments. To prevent the spread of infection, you should stay at home and avoid contact with other people if you're unwell.

Take Precautions Right Away Start wearing a high-quality mask or respirator (such as N95) as soon as you find out you were exposed to someone with COVID-19. You should wear a mask any time you are around others either inside your home or around other people in public. Start counting from day 1 of exposure.
“A big study came out in the fall of 2023 which showed that most people are the most contagious on day four of symptoms with COVID and then it wanes from there,” said Dr. Roberts. While people become less contagious over time, they are still contagious with COVID for an average of eight days.
