Isolating, which is different than quarantining, is for people who test positive for COVID-19. According to the CDHPE, isolating means staying away from other people entirely. Isolation lasts until the person has not experienced a fever for 24 hours, symptoms have improved and 10 days have passed since their first symptoms appeared.
