Operative words

Close contacts should stay home and monitor themselves for symptoms of COVID-19. They should not go to work, school, church or child care, and should avoid public places for 14 days after their last exposure... People who live or work in a high-priority setting should quarantine for the full 14-day period... High-priority settings include long-term care facilities, health care facilities, food processing facilities, the jail, schools and child care facilities. People who are in quarantine and do not live or work in a high-priority setting may shorten their quarantine in the following circumstances: If a person who is in quarantine has no symptoms, quarantine can end after Day 10. If a person who is in quarantine receives a negative COVID-19 test and has no symptoms, quarantine can end after Day 7. The person must be tested on or after Day 5, and quarantine cannot be discontinued earlier than Day 8.
