If you’ve been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 but you are not showing symptoms of illness, self-quarantine for 14 days. If you do not develop symptoms, you may return to work.

If you are symptomatic of COVID-19 or any general illness (using this decision tree infographic as a guide), CDC guidance requires that the following three conditions are met before you discontinue isolation:
