美风在楼下made a good point about isolation vs quarantine. Here is some information from CDC:
You quarantine when you might have been exposed to the virus and may or may not have been infected.
What to do
- Stay home for 14 days after your last contact with a person who has COVID-19.
- Watch for fever (100.4?F), cough, shortness of breath, or other symptoms of COVID-19.
- If possible, stay away from people you live with, especially people who are at higher risk for getting very sick from COVID-19.
You isolate when you have been infected with the virus, even if you don’t have symptoms.
What to do
- Monitor your symptoms. If you have an emergency warning sign (including trouble breathing), seek emergency medical care immediately.
- Stay in a separate room from other household members, if possible.
- Use a separate bathroom, if possible.
- Avoid contact with other members of the household and pets.
- Don’t share personal household items, like cups, towels, and utensils.
- Wear a mask when around other people if able.
