Isolation and Precautions for People with COVID-19 If you have COVID-19, you can spread the virus to others. Regardless of vaccination status, you should isolate from others. You should also isolate if you are sick and suspect that you have COVID-19 but do not yet have test results. If you test positive for COVID-19, stay home for at least 5 days and isolate from others in your home. You are likely most infectious during these first 5 days. Wear a high-quality mask if you must be around others at home and in public. Do not go places where you are unable to wear a mask. Do not travel. Stay home and separate from others as much as possible. Use a separate bathroom, if possible. Take steps to improve ventilation at home, if possible. Don’t share personal household items, like cups, towels, and utensils. Monitor your symptoms. If you have an emergency warning sign (like trouble breathing), seek emergency medical care immediately. It is important to also understand when to end isolation and when to stop wearing a mask.
