Quarantining Protocol
Guidance for people who are vaccinated:
If you have been fully vaccinated and have an exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, you are not required to quarantine if you meet all of the following criteria:
It has been 2 weeks or more since you were fully vaccinated (you received the 2nd dose in a 2-dose series or 1 dose of a single-dose vaccine)
You have remained asymptomatic since the current COVID-19 exposure
If you do not meet all of the above criteria, you should continue to follow current quarantine guidance after exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19.
An unvaccinated individual’s quarantine will begin after their last contact with the person who is positive, even if this person is a household member. There are three different ways you can quarantine as long as you have NO symptoms:
Quarantine for 14 days; especially if you are going to be around people that are high-risk for the virus: elderly, people with comorbidities, immunocompromised (Recommended)
OR ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
2. Quarantine for 10 days if you have NO symptoms
3. Quarantine for 7 days if you have a negative COVID test on or after day 5 and have NO symptoms
