If you have tested positive for COVID-19 or if you have been exposed to COVID-19 and then develop symptoms, you should stay home. The previous recommendation to stay home for 5 days has been replaced with a recommendation to stay home until 24 hours have passed since you had a fever (without taking fever-reducing medication) AND your symptoms are improving.
The best way to protect yourself and others from respiratory illness is to stay up to date with your COVID, flu, and RSV vaccines if you are eligible.
If you have COVID-19 or symptoms of respiratory illness, stay home until 24 hours have passed since you had a fever (without taking fever-reducing medication) AND your symptoms are improving. This means you feel well enough to resume normal activities and you generally feel better.
After you resume normal activities, if you continue to have any symptoms, take precautions to avoid spreading COVID-19 to others: social distance, practice good cough etiquette and hand hygiene, wear a mask, and improve ventilation or spend time outdoors as appropriate. Take particular care around others at risk of severe illness, such as older adults, and individuals with underlying medical conditions or a compromised immune system.
Symptoms of COVID-19 may include cough, body aches, fatigue, fever, and runny nose. People with COVID-19 may not experience all, or even any, of these symptoms.
