  • If You are Exposed to COVID

    On August 11, 2022 the CDC updated its COVID-19 guidelines, with new recommendations on quarantine (staying away from others if you have been in close contact with someone with COVID) and isolation (staying away from others when you test positive for COVID). The recommendations for quarantine and isolation no longer differ by vaccination status.
