You can end self-isolation after:
If you had severe illness from COVID-19 (e.g., were hospitalized, needed oxygen), follow your healthcare provider’s guidance. |
If you continue to have no symptoms, you can end self-isolation after 5 days have passed since the date you had your positive test but should continue to wear a mask with a properly fit non-cloth mask (like a KN95) around others, including those who share your household for 5 additional days. A follow-up test to show that you are “cured” is no longer recommended by the CDC to discontinue isolation or other precautions. If symptoms develop after initially testing positive, follow guidance above under “I know (tested positive for current illness) or I think I had COVID-19, and I had symptoms.” |
