Timeframe for Self-Isolation/Quarantine based on Testing Result
The purpose of quarantine is to keep people who might have been exposed (but not sick) to COVID-19 away from others. Isolation is to keep sick people and those infected with the COVID-19 virus away from those who are not infected. Self-quarantine/isolation are voluntary practices to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
It is expected that any person getting a COVID-19 diagnostic test (nasal swab or saliva) will self-quarantine after specimen collection AND are advised of the results of their test unless otherwise directed by those administering the test. These recommendations are not for individuals who got a serologic test (antibody). Depending on the test result, see below for the length of time that the individual should self-isolate/self-quarantine.
