* “Close contact” - being within six feet of a person who has tested positive for COVID-19, whether wearing a mask or not, for a cumulative total of 15 minutes within a 24 hour period, starting two days before the person developed symptoms or, for asymptomatic individuals, two days prior to the day the COVID test was conducted. Further, fully vaccinated persons who come into close contact with COVID-19 positive individual(s) should be tested 3-5 days after exposure, even if asymptomatic. Most fully vaccinated people with no COVID-like symptoms do not need to quarantine or be restricted from work following an exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, if they follow CDC guidance regarding testing and masking recommendations.
