Quarantine and Isolation (Q&I) Calculator
Want to know when you can safely leave home if you tested positive for COVID-19 or what to do when you find out a close contact has COVID-19? Click below to use the new Quarantine and Isolation (Q&I) Calculator from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Please note the following:
The California Department of Public Health recently updated state quarantine guidance - click here for details.
The Q&I calculator is not for people with COVID-19 who are moderately or severely ill or those who have a weakened immune system (immunocompromised)—they should talk to their doctor about when to end isolation.
This tool also does not apply to cases and close contacts identified in certain settings. Parents with children in K-12 schools or early care and education (ECE) programs should consult the program administrator for specific isolation and quarantine guidance in their school or ECE setting. For information about isolation and quarantine in high-risk congregate settings and healthcare settings, refer to COVID-19 Quarantine and Isolation.
