COVID-19 GUIDANCE

Important Information Updated March 1, 2024

Updated Isolation Guidance:

When you may have a respiratory virus…

  • Stay home and away from others (including people you live with who are not sick) if you
    have respiratory virus symptoms that aren’t better explained by another cause. These
    symptoms can include fever, chills, fatigue, cough, runny nose, and headache, among
    others.*

You can go back to your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both are true:

  •  Your symptoms are getting better overall, and
  • You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication)

When you go back to your normal activities, take added precaution over the next 5 days,
such as taking additional steps for cleaner air, hygiene, masks, physical distancing,
and/or testing when you will be around other people indoors. This is especially important to
protect people with factors that increase their risk of severe illness from respiratory viruses.
This is especially important to protect people with factors that increase their risk of severe
illness from respiratory viruses.

  •  Keep in mind that you may still be able to spread the virus that made you sick, even
    if you are feeling better. You are likely to be less contagious at this time, depending
    on factors like how long you were sick or how sick you were.
  • If you develop a fever or you start to feel worse after you have gone back to normal
    activities, stay home and away from others again until, for at least 24 hours, both
    are true: your symptoms are improving overall, and you have not had a fever (and
    are not using fever-reducing medication). Then take added precaution for the next 5
    days.
