Current Protocol for COVID-19

• Positive individuals with symptoms: individuals may return to work or school when they start to feel better, their symptoms are mild and improving, and they have not had a fever for 24 hours without fever reducing medications. There is no longer a “5 day” rule to stay home if feeling better.  

• Positive individuals with NO symptoms may stay at school or work.  

• People who have been exposed do not need to test unless they have symptoms or are at high risk for severe illness or have contact with people who are at risk for severe illness. In these situations, test within 5 days from the last date of exposure.
