Testing positive for COVID-19
​You will be required to isolate for a minimum of 5 days or 24 hours after symptoms improve and no fever (without fever reducing medication), whichever is longer.  If you do not have symptoms, your isolation period begins the day of your positive test. 

If you are identified as a close contact of a positive case, you will be required to quarantine for 5 days since the last date that you had contact with the positive case.  

Our staff are available to help support you while you are in quarantine or isolation.  We can assist with grocery shopping, prescription pick up, rent/utility assistance, housing, and other needs to help you stay home for your entire isolation or quarantine period.  For more information about quarantine and isolation support, please email us here.

​Quarantine for close contacts
Quarantine period starts the day the unvaccinated person was last in close contact with someone with COVID-19. 

Close contact means spending at least 15 minutes or more within 6 feet of someone over the course of a day, with or without a mask.  Individuals who are close contacts should quarantine for a minimum of 5 days and should get tested on day 5 after exposure. 

​If close contacts develop symptoms, please get tested, or if you are unable to get tested, assume you are positive for COVID-19 and isolate for a minimum of 5 days or 24 hours after symptoms resolve (whichever is LONGER).  

 It is very important to continue to wear a mask, wash your hands often and limit your contact with people you don’t live with for the full 10 days after exposure.
