If you have tested positive for COVID-19, even if you are vaccinated:
✅ Isolate yourself from others for 10 days from the onset of your symptoms, or from the date of your positive test if you do not have symptoms. You can stop isolating yourself and return to work after 10 days as long as you have been without a fever for at least 24 hours and your symptoms have improved or resolved.
✅ Notify any individuals you have had close contact with starting 2 days before symptom onset, or 2 days before your positive test if you have no symptoms.
✅ Notify your medical provider if you are at high risk for complications. This includes being older than 65 and/or having a chronic medical condition such as high blood pressure, heart or lung disease, an autoimmune disorder, cancer diagnosis or have undergone cancer treatment in recent years, obesity, or diabetes.

✅ If you are a close contact of someone who has tested positive, quarantining for 10 days after the last day you had close contact with that person is recommended. If you develop symptoms, you should get tested.
✅ If you have continual exposure to — for example, you live with — someone who has tested positive, you will need to quarantine for 10 days after that person is released from isolation.
If you are a close contact of someone who has tested positive and you are vaccinated, you do not need to quarantine, if:
- You received both doses of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine (or one dose of a single-dose vaccine) AND
If you are a close contact of a close contact who has been exposed to COVID-19:
- You do not need to quarantine or get tested, regardless of your vaccination status.
You should still monitor yourself for COVID-19 symptoms. If symptoms develop, isolate yourself and get tested.Community Resources
