Good Idea: You want to keep your co-workers safe if you are infected.

COVID 19: Please quarantine.Average incubation period for COVID-19 is 2 to14 days (but as little as 1 day), median time is 4-5 days. You have more chance of having an accurate test result if you have symptoms or you wait at least a few days after COVID 19 contact.
