Respiratory distress: The isolation is intended to reduce transmission to others including your household members. The isolation is for 14 days from the time of testing. Please check the date of sample collection and isolate for at least 14 days, or three days without fever, whichever is longer. Rest, eat well, drink fluids. Fever should be treated with Tylenol not Motrin Watch for shortness of breath and then evaluate

Covid/Isolation: Isolation can end 10 days after onset of symptoms . If you did not have symptoms, isolation is 10 days from the day you are positive. You will need to restart the clock.
