Do I have to isolate if I test positive for COVID-19? Yes. People who test positive for COVID-19 still need to isolate themselves from others (stay home) for at least 5 days after the start of symptoms or after the date of their first positive test. Isolation can end after Day 5, if: COVID-19 symptoms are not present or are mild and improving; and You have been fever-free for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medications). DPH strongly recommends, but does not require, that infected residents have a negative test before leaving isolation between Day 6 and Day 10. Residents leaving isolation after Day 5 should wear a well-fitting mask around others for a total of 10 days, especially in indoor settings.
