Guidance for the New CDC COVID-19 Quarantine Options:
12/03/2020
If you are exposed to a COVID-19 positive person:
- If you are exposed to a COVID-19 positive person you should go into quarantine
- Your time in quarantine will keep you from spreading the virus to others, if you are infected and have no symptoms
- When in quarantine, you should wear your mask indoors and outdoors
- Do not mix with other people outside of your household -the people you live with, unless absolutely necessary
Three different ways you can quarantine as long as you have NO symptoms:
- Quarantine for 14 days; especially if you are going to be around people that are high-risk for the virus: elderly, people with co-morbidities, immunocompromised (Recommended)
- Quarantine for 10 days if you have NO symptoms
- Quarantine for 7 days if you have a negative COVID-19 test on or after Day 5 and have NO symptoms
Take steps to protect yourself and others:
- Stay away from people you live with –use a separate room and bathroom, if possible
- Do not go to work, school, or other places outside your home
- Do not allow others into your home
- Ask friends or family to bring groceries, medicines, or supplies
- If you need support or help call your healthcare provider, local health department, or 1-844-KYTRACE
