If you have COVID-19 you should isolate for at least five days.
Day 0 is your first day of symptoms or, if asymptomatic, the day you test positive.
You can end isolation after five full days if you’re fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication and your other symptoms have improved.
Even after your isolation window, you should continue to wear a well-fitting mask around others at home and in public for five additional days.
If you are unable to wear a mask, you should continue to isolate for a full 10 days.
It is also important to stay away from people who are immunocompromised, high risk and those in nursing homes until after at least 10 days.
Individuals who are asymptomatic and test positive should isolate for at least five days from the date of the positive test.
If their test is positive, the person with COVID should continue to isolate for at least five days after the onset of their symptoms.

If you test positive for COVID-19, there are things you need to do to take care of yourself and help stop the spread of disease to others. Most individuals recover from COVID-19 at home, but it is important to know when you should seek further treatment. Contact your healthcare provider. Tell them you tested positive for COVID-19 and are home recovering. Take it easy. Rest up and stay hydrated. Monitor your symptoms. Report worsening symptoms to your healthcare provider. Stay home unless you need medical care. Don’t go to work or school and avoid public places like stores. Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Call your close contacts. You can return to your usual activities when, for at least 24 hours: Your symptoms are getting better AND You are fever-free. Take additional precautions for the next 5 days because you may still be able to spread COVID-19 even when you are feeling better.
