*Who needs to Quarantine? *

People who have been in *close contact* with someone who has COVID-19. This
excludes people who have had COVID-19 within the past 3 months.

People who have tested positive for COVID-19 do not need to quarantine or
get tested again for up to 3 months as long as they do not develop
symptoms. If they develop symptoms of COVID-19 they should isolate until
they are well for at least 24 hours, or if an alternative diagnosis is
made, until they can return to school according to that diagnosis.
Encourage the individual to be evaluated by their healthcare provider for
an alternative diagnosis other than COVID-19.

What does it mean to be a *”**close contact**”*?

You are a close contact if any of the following situations happened while
you spent time with a person with COVID-19 (even if they didn’t have
symptoms and were wearing a mask):

You were within 6 feet of the person for a total of 15 minutes or more over
the course of a day. You provided care at home to the person.

You had direct physical contact with the person (hugged or kissed them).

You shared eating or drinking utensils with the person.

You had a sleepover with the person.
They sneezed, coughed, or somehow got respiratory droplets on you.
