If you do not develop any symptoms, you will need to stay in self-quarantine for 10 days from the last time you were in close contact with a person who has COVID-19. If you continue to live with or care for this person, the amount of time you have to self-quarantine depends on the type of contact that you have.
You must monitor yourself for symptoms, wear a mask at all times around others, wash hands, and stay at least 6 feet from others for 14 days after exposure.
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.
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.
Typical COVID-19 symptoms often show up 2 to 14 days after contact with the virus. Symptoms can include: Dry cough. Shortness of breath.
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.
As noted above, those who test positive should mask indoors when around others during the full 10 days following symptom onset date (or positive test date if no symptoms). However, confirmed cases may remove their mask sooner than 10 full days after two sequential negative antigen tests at least one day apart.
If their test is positive, the person with COVID should continue to isolate for at least five days after the onset of their symptoms. Individuals who are asymptomatic and test positive should isolate for at least five days from the date of the positive test.
If you still test positive on or after Day 5 or if you don't test, isolate for 10 full days, and until you don't have a fever. It is strongly recommended that you wear a well-fitting mask around others – especially when indoors – for 10 days, even if you stop isolating earlier.
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).
