Quarantine is used to keep a person who might have been exposed to COVID-19 away from others.

Self-quarantine helps prevent the spread of COVID-19 which can occur before a person knows they are sick or if they are infected with the virus without showing symptoms.

People in quarantine must:

• Stay at home or in their hotel room
• Separate themselves from others
• Monitor their health
• Follow directions from the Ministry of Health

Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. If you are exhibiting any of the following symptoms, please contact health authorities:

• Fever or chills, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing are the most common symptoms.
• Fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, loss of taste or smell, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting and diarrhea are also possible symptoms.

The best way to protect yourself is to avoid being exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19.

• Stay home as much as possible and avoid close contact with others.
• Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth in public settings.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 70% alcohol.
