Recommendations at Home:
COVID-19 Positive or Suspected Positive
• Clean and disinfect high touch surfaces daily in household common areas (e.g. table, hardbacked chairs, doorknobs, light switched, etc).
• As much as possible the ill person should stay in a specific room away from other people.
• If a separate bathroom is not available, the caregiver should wait as long as practical after use by the ill person to clean and disinfect.
• If a member of a household tests positive, others in the home should self-isolate in
another part of the home* (if symptomatic) or self-quarantine at home for 14 days AFTER any sick person in the home’s selfisolation period ends (if asymptomatic). If an asymptomatic person becomes ill, they should follow instructions for self-isolation.
• *A symptomatic person must self-isolate until 3 full days (or 72 hours have passed) since you had a fever without the use of fever reducing medications AND other symptoms have improved AND 10 days have passed since symptoms first started.
