Should I Still Be Quarantining?

Stay home for 14 days after your last contact with a person who has COVID-19. Watch for fever (100.4◦F), cough, shortness of breath, or other symptoms of COVID-19. If possible, stay away from people you live with, especially people who are at higher risk for getting very sick from COVID-19.

When can I discontinue my COVID-19 quarantine?

  • 14 days have passed since their last exposure to a suspected or confirmed case (considering the last exposure date to case as Day 0); and
  • the exposed person has not developed signs or symptoms of COVID-19

How long after being infected can symptoms of COVID-19 still appear?

In rare cases, symptoms can show up after 14 days. Researchers think this happens with about 1 out of every 100 people. Some people may have the coronavirus and never show symptoms. Others may not know that they have it because their symptoms are very mild.
