Do you need to quarantine if you have been exposed but have no symptoms?

• Quarantine is no longer recommended for most settings, including home, schools and child care.  Quarantine is recommended for high-risk congregate settings, such as hospitals, jails, and nursing homes.
• It is recommended that individuals without symptoms should get tested 5-7 days from the last day of exposure to positive case or get tested immediately if symptoms develop. Learn more about what to do if you were exposed to COVID-19.
