Isolation means staying home and away from other people – including the people who live with you – for at least 5 days. The state of Vermont has adopted the CDC guidance on isolation and quarantine with additional guidance around recommended testing.

If you have a positive test (PCR, LAMP, or antigen)

This guidance is for people who are vaccinated, boosted or unvaccinated.

Stay home and isolatefor 5 days.
You can leave your home after day 5 if:
- you have two negative antigen tests performed at least 24 hours apart beginning no earlier than day 4*
- AND you never had symptoms, or your symptoms have improved and you feel better
- AND you have had no fever for at least 24 hours without the use of medicine that reduces fevers
- AND you wear a mask around others through day 10.
Notify your close contacts that you have tested positive. *Testing is strongly recommended. If you are unable to get a test and you meet all other requirements you can end isolation after 5 days. If you have a positive COVID test with no symptoms, day 0 is the day when you took the test. If you have symptoms, day 0 is the day symptoms start, regardless of if it was before or after the test.Children under 2 years old can leave isolation after day 5 if they have no symptoms, even though they cannot wear a mask.

Notify your close contacts

It’s important for people in close contact with you to know that they may have been exposed to COVID-19. Especially with the more contagious variants, the sooner people know they may have come into contact with the virus, the sooner they can take steps to protect themselves and to prevent further spread in the community.
