<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In certain circumstances (at the discretion of local health departments), Individuals with exposure to a KNOWN COVID-19 case:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">10 days from exposure<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>If no symptoms, can end quarantine and self-monitor for the last 4 days.
<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If symptoms appear at any time, quarantine period for symptomatic individuals starts (10 days from onset of symptoms, 24 hours w/out fever or fever reducing meds/ decrease in symptoms)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It should be noted that 14 days is still the preferred time period for quarantine for exposed people without symptoms because this option greatly mitigates transmission of the virus<o:p></o:p></p>
