Description:Updated Feb. 1, 2022
CDC has updated isolation and quarantine recommendations for the public, and is revising the CDC website to reflect these changes. These recommendations do not apply to healthcare personnel and do not supersede state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations.
Note: If your COVID-19 self-test is positive, tell a healthcare provider about your positive result and stay in contact with them during your illness. It is particularly important to seek medical care and possible treatment if you have an underlying medical condition that increases your risks from COVID-19. To avoid spreading the virus to others, follow CDC’s guidance for isolation. Tell your close contacts that they have been exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19. If your symptoms worsen, tell your healthcare provider, or if you have emergency warning signs, seek emergency care immediately.
