Quarantine and Isolation Calculators

You have tested positive and have symptoms

If you are symptomatic and have tested positive for COVID-19 then you must isolate for at least 5 days from the date your symptoms began. To stop or discontinue isolation, at least 5 days must have passed since your symptoms began and at least 24 hours have passed since your fever went away without the use of fever-reducing medications (such as Tylenol or Ibuprofen) and other symptoms have improved.

  • Test on day 5, if possible.
  • If you develop symptoms, get a test and stay home.
If you,
  • Completed the primary series of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine over 6 months ago and are not boosted
  • Completed the primary series of J&J vaccine and are not boosted
  • Are unvaccinated
Then you should,
  • Stay home for 5 days. After that, continue wearing a mask around others for 5 additional days.
  • If you can’t quarantine, you must wear a mask for 10 days.

You have been identified as a close contact

If you have been in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19, you need to quarantine for 5 days from your last contact date and monitor yourself for symptoms. If you have continuous contact or ongoing exposure to someone who tested positive (e.g. live in the same household with the ill person), you need to quarantine for 5 days after the person who tested positive was released from isolation, and monitor yourself for symptoms through the 5th day. Follow CDC guidance if symptoms develop.

Is this an ongoing exposure (e.g. living with or providing care to someone who tested positive)?
