POSITIVE TEST
Individuals who test positive must isolate for at least 5 days. If they are asymptomatic or symptoms are resolving and they have been fever free for 24 hours, they may return to programming after Day 5 with a mask through Day 10.
CLOSE CONTACT
Quarantine for asymptomatic exposed individuals is no longer required. Individuals should mask until Day 10. A test on Day 2 and 5 is recommended, but not required.
SYMPTOMATIC
An individual with symptoms can return to their program if they test negative, or if they have been fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications and their symptoms have resolved, or if a medical professional makes an alternative diagnosis. A negative test is strongly recommended for return if the latter two conditions are met.
COUNTING DAYS
To count days for quarantine and isolation, Day 0 is the date of exposure for close contacts.
For positive cases, Day 0 is the first day of symptoms OR the day the positive test was taken, whichever is earlier.
