What are the rules now if I test positive for COVID?

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.
