Your COVID-19 Test Result is Positive
*Your test results show that you have COVID-19.
What you should do to prevent passing the infection to other people:
- Stay home for 5 days from the first day of your symptoms or from the day that you were tested.
- If you have no symptoms or your symptoms are resolving after 5 days, you can leave the house.
- Continue to wear a mask around others for another 5 days.
- If you have a fever, continue to stay home until your fever resolves.
Inform your employer/school and all people you have recently been in contact with so they can be tested or quarantine.
