If you test positive for the virus that causes COVID-19, take the following steps to protect others regardless of your COVID-19 vaccination status: Isolate at home and isolate away from others for at least 10 days.
If you do not have any symptoms, you should still isolate at home for at least 10 days.
If you develop symptoms, continue to isolate for at least 10 days after symptoms began as long as symptoms have improved, and no fever is present for at least 24 hours without use of fever-reducing medications.
Most people have mild COVID-19 illness and can recover at home without medical care.
Contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible if you are more likely to get very sick because of being an older adult or having underlying medical conditions or if your symptoms get worse.
Talk to your healthcare provider or local health department to find out how long to isolate if you:
Are severely ill with COVID-19 or have a weakened immune system;
Had a positive test result followed by a negative result; or
Test positive for many weeks after the initial result.
