4. A US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved/authorized COVID-19 test (antigen test is preferred) is negative on or after day 5 from COVID-19 symptoms onset. Please follow “After you use an at-home COVID-19 antigen test” for accurate test results.

Additionally, you must continue to wear a well-fitting mask around other people until the end of day 10 from COVID-19 symptoms onset. If the criteria above are NOT MET, then stay in self-isolation for a full 10 days.

All symptomatic persons with COVID-19 who are unable to test, choose not to test, or test positive by repeat testing shall isolate for 10 days from COVID-19 symptoms onset.

*Close contact (someone sharing the same indoor airspace for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period during an infected person’s infectious period)

Yes, quarantine is not needed regardless of your vaccination status. Consider testing as soon as possible and within 3-5 days after the last exposure. Wear a mask around others for a total of 10 days, especially in indoor settings and when near those at higher risk for severe COVID-19. You are strongly encouraged to get vaccinated or boosted if you have not done so. 

If the antigen test result is positive, then follow, “I am sick with COVID-19 symptoms and have tested positive for the virus. Can I come to work?”

If the antigen test result is negative, please follow below to ensure that you do not have a false negative test result:

• If you have COVID-19 symptoms, test again 48 hours after the first negative test, for a total of at least two tests.
  • If you get a negative result on the second test and you are concerned that you could have COVID-19, you may choose to test again 48 hours after the second test, consider getting a laboratory molecular-based test (e.g. PCR), or call your health care provider.
• If you do not have COVID-19 symptoms and believe you have been exposed to COVID-19, test again 48 hours after the first negative test, then 48 hours after the second negative test, for a total of at least three tests.
  • If you get a negative result on the second test, test again 48 hours after the second test.
  • If you get a negative result on the third test and you are concerned that you could have COVID-19, you may choose to test again using an antigen test, consider getting a laboratory molecular-based test (e.g. PCR), or call your health care provider.
• If you get a positive result on any repeat test with an at-home COVID-19 antigen test, you most likely have COVID-19 and should follow the local guidelines for people with COVID-19 or contact your primary care physician for more guidance.

Please talk to your primary health care provider and notify your supervisor and Human Resources (HR) thereafter. Please review FDA’s new advisory on “After you use an at-home COVID-19 antigen test.”
