With guidance from the CDC constantly evolving, it can be hard to stay up to date with the latest information. If you or the people you support are having trouble navigating what to do, The Centers for Disease Control and Infection (CDC) has created a helpful Quarantine and Isolation Calculator. 

The calculator and accompanying resources aim to help determine how long you need to isolate, quarantine, or take other steps to prevent spreading COVID-19 if you are exposed or infected. The page provides specific definitions and breaks down different scenarios while providing instructions on what to do in each case. It also provides additional resources to answer some frequently asked questions. 

People with COVID-19 and close contacts should follow the recommendations outlined by the calculator. These recommendations do not change based on COVID-19 community levels.
