CDC Quarantine and Isolation Guidance
Find the latest quarantine and isolation guidance from the CDC here.
Current CDC Guidance
- Fully vaccinated people who have come into close contact with someone with COVID-19 should be tested 5-7 days following the date of their exposure and wear a mask in public indoor settings for 14 days or until they receive a negative test result. They should isolate if they test positive.
- Fully vaccinated people who live in a household with someone who is immunosuppressed, at increased risk of severe disease, or unvaccinated (including children <5 years of age) could also consider masking at home for 14 days following a known exposure or until they receive a negative test result.
- Most fully vaccinated people with no COVID-like symptoms do not need to quarantine or be restricted from work following exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, if they follow the testing and masking recommendation above.
