Close Contact Notice
If you have been in close contact with a person diagnosed with COVID-19, it is necessary that you do the following:
- Quarantine or isolate - View CDC Infographic
- Follow the directions of the contact tracer or your local health department
- Consider following the recommendation to get tested for COVID-19
*Note: If you have tested positive for COVID-19 within the last 90 days, talk with your doctor about the need to quarantine. In addition, as long as you do not have symptoms, you do not need to get another test for COVID-19. If you develop or have symptoms of COVID-19, consult with your medical provider.
Isolation Calculators
If you have tested positive and HAVE symptoms, use this calculator.
If you are symptomatic and have tested positive for COVID-19 then you must isolate for 10 days from the date your symptoms began. To stop or discontinue isolation, at least 10 days must have passed since your symptoms began and at least 24 hours have passed since your fever went away without the use of fever-reducing medications (such as Tylenol or Ibuprofen) and other symptoms have improved.
Enter the first day your symptoms began below. Format: mm/dd/yyyy
If your symptoms have improved and 24 hours have elapsed without a fever without the use of medication, your last FULL day of isolation is: .
Your isolation ENDS on:
.
On this date, you may resume your usual activities but should still take precautions to reduce your risk (i.e. social distancing, frequent handwashing, and wearing a mask when social distancing isn't possible).
If you have tested positive but have NO symptoms, use this calculator.
Enter the test date below. Format: mm/dd/yyyy
Quarantine Calculator
If you have been identified as a close contact, use this calculator.
Enter the last date of the contact with the person who tested positive below. Format: mm/dd/yyyy
As long as you remain symptom free, your quarantine will last 10 days after your last contact with the person who tested positive. Your last FULL day of quarantine is: .
Your quarantine ENDS on: . On this date, you may resume your usual activities but should continue to monitor for symptoms for an additional 4 days after release from quarantine and contact your healthcare provider if symptoms develop.

NOTE: Release from quarantine after a 7-day quarantine can be accomplished if the following criteria are met: (1) a test is performed on Day 5 or later of quarantine and the result is negative, (2) no symptoms of COVID-19 develop (remain asymptomatic), and (3) self-monitoring for symptoms [check temperature and other symptoms twice daily] for an additional 7 days after release from quarantine.
Reinfection Susceptibility Calculator
You previously tested positive for COVID-19 and want to know when you are susceptible to reinfection: 90-Day Calculator
Reinfection among individuals who test positive for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 appears to be uncommon during the initial 90 days after symptom onset of your COVID-19 diagnosis.
Enter the first day your symptoms began
OR your test date if you did not have symptoms but tested positive. Format: mm/dd/yyyy
Your 90 day period ends on .
You are unlikely to become reinfected with COVID-19 within 90 days after infection, but should continue to take precautions to reduce your risk of exposure (i.e. social distancing, frequent handwashing, and wearing a mask when social distancing isn't possible).
