If you have returned from Hubei Province within the last 14 days, you will be monitored by 

the public health department in your destination state. Monitoring will include agreements or legal 

orders such as a quarantine order. 

Under these agreements or quarantine orders:

U.S. government for a 14-day period from the time you left Hubei Province. 

• Follow the directions in the quarantine order and the directions provided by your health 

department and the U.S. government. 

If you have returned from China (other than Hubei Province), stay home and self-monitor for 14 

days from the time you left China. Take these steps to monitor your health: 

1. Take your temperature with a thermometer two times a day and watch for cough or difculty 

breathing (see instructions in this booklet). 

2. Stay home from school.

Check Your Health and Record Every Day 

2 WEEKS 

If you have been exposed to a person with COVID-19, it may take up to 14 days 

to know if you will get sick. It is important to check your health two times each 

day for 14 days after you leave China. Follow the steps below to check and record 

your health. 

Step 1 Do health checks every morning and every night: 

• Take your temperature and/or that of family members who traveled with you and cannot do so 

themselves. 

• In addition to fever, be alert for any other symptoms of COVID-19, including cough or difculty breathing. 

• Write your temperature and any symptoms in the log included in this booklet. 

• Write family members’ temperatures and symptoms in their own booklets. 

Family members who did not travel with you do not need to be monitored. 

Step 2 If your health department asks you to report your 

temperature and any symptoms, follow their instructions. 

Step 3 If you have fever (fever is 100.4°F/38°C or higher), 

cough, or trouble breathing: 

1. Do not go out in public. 

2. Call the phone number listed for your health department in this booklet. Remind them that you are 

self-monitoring. 

3. If you can’t reach your health department, seek medical advice – call ahead before you go to a 

doctor’s ofce or emergency room. Tell them about your recent travel, your symptoms, and guidance 

received from the health department. 

4. Avoid contact with others. 

5. Do not travel while sick. 

6. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing. 

7. Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds to avoid spreading the virus to others.

How to Take Your Temperature

the button near the screen. 

2. Hold the tip of the thermometer under your tongue until it 

beeps. Do not bite the thermometer.

and dry it well. 

PLEASE NOTE: For infants and children younger than 4 years old, use an age-appropriate thermometer such as 

an ear thermometer. If you do not have one, use a regular thermometer by placing it under the child’s arm in the 

center of the armpit. 

For the armpit method, if the child’s temperature is 99.4°F/37.4°C or higher, they have a fever. Tell the public health 

worker that you are taking the child’s temperature this way.
