Home Quarantine Instructions for Close Contacts to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) These quarantine instructions are for people who had close contact with someone who has Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and are not fully vaccinated or are vaccinated and booster-eligible but have not yet received their booster dose. People with COVID-19 infection can spread disease 48 hours before they have symptoms, when they have symptoms, or even if they never have symptoms. "Close contact" to a person who has COVID-19 infection is someone who is living in the same house, is an intimate partner, is a caregiver, or has been within 6 feet for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24- hour period with the infected person. Since you are a close contact you must follow these instructions to help prevent COVID-19 from spreading in your home or in your community. Home Quarantine —Why do I need to do it? • You have been exposed to COVID-19. It can take 2-14 days to show symptoms. Also, people can spread the disease for 2 days before they get symptoms.Therefore, it is important thatyou are in quarantine in case you become infected so you do not pass the infection to anyone else. How long do I need to be in quarantine? • Stay home for at least 5 days after the date of last exposure to COVID-19. • Quarantine can end after day 5 if symptoms are not present and a COVID-19 test collected on Day 5 or later tests negative. • If unable to test or choosing not to test, and symptoms are not present, quarantine can end after day 10. • If you continue to live with and/or care for the person with COVID-19,or get exposed again,the quarantine time is as follows: o If a COVID-19 infected person lives in your home and cannot be isolated in one room, then your period of quarantine starts at same time as the infected person's isolation and continues until 5 or 10 days after the infected person is finished with their isolation. After your quarantine, if you stay asymptomatic you may leave your home but must monitor yourself for symptoms and wear a face covering through Day 10. o If you have close contact again with a person with COVID-19 (being within 6 feet for 15 minutes or more, or touching body fluids or secretions without using the appropriate precautions), your quarantine period will have to restart from that date. Body fluids or secretions include sweat, saliva, sputum, nasal mucus,vomit, urine or diarrhea. What are the Quarantine requirements? • Stay home.
