Isolation and Quarantine

 Isolation is used to separate ill persons who have a communicable disease from those who are healthy. Isolation restricts the movement of ill persons to help stop the spread of certain diseases.

If you have CORONAVIRUS 19

Must be isolated for a minimum of 7 days after onset and can be released after afebrile and feeling well (without fever-reducing medication) for at least 72 hours.

  • You should strictly isolate yourself at home for at least 7 days after you became ill, and you should be feeling well (and without fever) for at least 3 days in a row before resuming normal activities.
  • Other members of your household should also stay home, and no visitors should be allowed.
  • Stay in a specific room and away from other people in your home to the extent possible. Use a separate bathroom, if available.
  • Household contacts can consider relocating to a separate, uninhabited housing location if available to decrease their risk of exposure.
  • Where possible, ask others such as friends or family, to get food or necessities for you.
  • If you must leave home, such as to seek medical care, wear a surgical mask if you have one

Quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of well persons who may have been exposed to a communicable disease to see if they become ill. These people may have been exposed to a disease and do not know it, or they may have the disease but do not show symptoms. Quarantine can also help limit the spread of communicable disease

If you are a Household Contact to someone who has COVID 19

Must be quarantined for 14 days after the case has been afebrile and feeling well (because exposure is considered ongoing within the house).

  • You should stay home for 14 days after your last contact with the person with COVID-19.
  • If your contact is a household member, you may need to stay home for longer.
  • Do not go to work or school, and avoid public places for 14 days.
  • If possible, get others such as friends or family, to drop off food or other necessities.

If you are a Non-Household Contact

Must be quarantined for 14 days from the date of last contact with the case

  • You should stay home for 14 days after your last contact with the person with COVID-19.
  • Do not go to work or school, and avoid public places for 14 days.
  • If possible, get others such as friends or family, to drop off food or other necessities.
