  • You have had prolonged contact in close proximity of 6 feet or less with someone who has a confirmed case of COVID-19, whether wearing masks or not, for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period.
    • Healthcare providers who have had protected contact with COVID-19 patients while wearing respiratory PPE, such as N95 masks, do not need to quarantine.

  • You are under quarantine by the direction of a public health agency or medical provider.
    • Quarantine is a 14-day safety measure in place for individuals exposed to a COVID-19-confirmed person, in case symptoms develop during the incubation period of the virus.
  • You recently pursued testing for COVID-19 due to exposure or because you were experiencing COVID-like symptoms.
    • You must not be present until your test results are received. You may be seen via telehealth if you are able, while awaiting your results.
