People may choose to mask at any time. People with symptoms, a positive test, or exposure to someone with COVID-19 should wear a high-quality mask or respirator when indoors in public.
It is most important to wear a well-fitting mask or respirator correctly that is comfortable for you and that provides good protection. While all masks and respirators provide some level of protection, properly fitting respirators (such as N95 and KN95) provide the highest level of protection.
Quarantine Guidance after testing positive for COVID-19:
If you test positive for COVID-19, stay home for at least 5 days and isolate from others in your home. You are likely most infectious during these first 5 days.
End quarantine based on how serious your COVID-19 symptoms were. Loss of taste and smell may persist for weeks or months after recovery and need not delay the end of quarantine.
If you had no symptoms, you may end isolation after day 5.
If you had symptoms and your symptoms are improving, you may end quarantine after day 5 if you are fever free for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medication).
If your symptoms are not improving, continue to quarantine until you are fever-free for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medication) and your symptoms are improving.
If you had symptoms and had moderate illness (you experienced shortness of breath or had difficulty breathing, you should quarantine through day 10.
If you had symptoms and had severe illness (you were hospitalized) or have a weakened immune system, you need to quarantine through day 10 and consult with your doctor before ending quarantine.
