3) If you remain without symptoms by day #7 and have a negative Covid test back then you may exit quarantine and use the normal precautions recommended for your community
If testing is not available..............
4) Continue the symptom tracker until day #10, if you still do not have any symptoms you may be released from quarantine on day #11

What if I have already tested positive for Covid-19?

People who develop symptoms again within 3 months of their first bout of COVID-19 may need to be tested again if there is no other cause identified for their symptoms.
