, quarantining means close monitoring of symptoms; avoiding high-risk individuals; restricting activities outside the house other than to seek medical care; not going to work, school or public areas; and avoiding the use of public transportation, ride shares or taxis. It also includes wearing a mask and increasing cleaning and hygiene measures.
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.
