Updated Quarantine Guidelines December 2020
New quarantine guidelines were released December 2, 2020 for people who are quarantined for close contact. These do not apply to individuals who are placed in isolation that have tested positive for COVID-19.
“Based on new evidence about COVID-19, the CDC has updated their quarantine recommendations for local public health authorities.
The new guidelines provide options to shorten quarantine to 10 or seven days in certain circumstances:
- Quarantine can end after day 10 without testing if no symptoms have been reported during daily monitoring.
- Quarantine can end after day seven if the individual tests negative and if no symptoms have been reported during daily monitoring.
