FAQ
To prevent the spread of infection, you should stay at home and avoid contact with other people if you're unwell. When you no longer have a fever (if you had one) and don't need medicine to control your fever, you can return to normal activities. For example, work, school, and social events.
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.
Stay home unless you need medical care. Don't go to work or school and avoid public places like stores. Stay away from others. In other words, if you live with other people try to keep your distance by staying in one room and using a separate bathroom if you are able.
What should I do if I test positive? It is strongly recommended that you stay home and take steps to protect others. You may be infectious for up to 10 days. You are most infectious in the 2 days before your symptoms start and while you have acute symptoms (such as a runny nose, sore throat, fever, cough).
If you test positive, you are strongly encouraged to isolate (stay home and away from other people) for at least 5 full days, to prevent spreading the disease to others. Isolation is recommended even if you have been vaccinated or have had COVID-19 before.
You should isolate for at least 5 days counting from the day you began feeling sick (Day 0 is the day you began feeling sick; Day 1 is the next day). If you have no symptoms, then isolate for 5 full days after the day you tested positive (Day 0 is the day you took your positive test; Day 1 is the day after).
I have symptoms of COVID-19 or have tested positive on a PCR or rapid antigen test. You should stay at home and self-isolate until symptoms have been improving for 24 hours (or 48 hours if gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea) and you do not have a fever, even if a repeated test is negative.
Consider staying away from people at high risk of getting very sick until: 10 days have passed since your symptoms started, 10 days have passed since you tested positive (if you never developed symptoms), or. You test negative for COVID-19 with an antigen test (such as an at-home test)
That said, you are contagious with COVID for an average of eight days (although this varies based upon the severity of illness) and you should take precautions to prevent others from getting it during this time frame.
