The Kent County Health Department is changing its quarantine guidelines for people exposed to the coronavirus to align with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention protocols.
Effective immediately, the new guidance shortens the quarantine period for exposed people from 14 days to 10 days under certain scenarios.
The previous 14-day quarantine period was based on the full incubation period of the virus. However, data confirms 90-99% of COVID-19 infections occur within 10 days of exposure.
Residents can be released from quarantine after 10 days, without testing, if they conduct daily symptom monitoring through Day 10 after the last exposure and if they do not have any symptoms or clinical evidence of COVID-19.
