Updated 04-18-2023: What to Do If You Test Positive for COVID-19
Isolation keeps someone who is infected with COVID-19 away from others even in their own home. You need to isolate if you have symptoms or have tested positive for COVID-19.
If you tested positive for COVID-19:
Isolate for at least 5 days after testing positive or from the time symptoms began AND
- You have been fever free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medicine
- Other symptoms have improved
During isolation you should:
- Stay home and away from others (even others in your home), except to get medical care
- If you cannot mask around others, isolate for a full 10 days
After the 5 days of isolation, you should wear a mask for an additional 5 days when you are around others. If you have been severely ill or are severely immunocompromised, you may be asked to isolate up to 20 days. If you’re at high risk, call your provider and ask if treatment is right for you.
Once you have completed isolation, you can leave your house and return to work. Keep protecting yourself and others.
In the case of testing positive for COVID-19 you will want to tell people that were in close contact with you and tell your employer.
