If you or someone you love has tested positive for the disease, is sick with COVID-19, or been exposed to someone with COVID-19, the county’s new Quarantine and Isolation Calculator lets you know when your isolation may end by entering the date when symptoms were first exhibited; a test was conducted; or you were potentially exposed to the disease. There are options for people who tested positive and have symptoms of COVID; have tested positive but don’t have symptoms; for those in close contact with someone who tested positive, but show no symptoms; and for those who previously tested positive and want to calculate their susceptibility to re-infection.
“This is a simple, easy-to-use tool that will give people confidence in their efforts to protect others,” said County Director of Public Health, Corwin Porter. “It will allow them to determine exactly how long they need to isolate to ensure they don’t spread the disease to family, friends, colleagues or anyone else.”
