If you are symptomatic and have tested positive for COVID-19 then you must isolate for 5 full days from the date your symptoms began. To stop or discontinue isolation, at least 5 full 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. You must continue to wear a well-fitting mask around others for an additional 5 days after leaving isolation.
