Personal Accountability Protocols

The CDC no longer has a separate COVID-19 isolation policy. Instead, COVID-19 is covered under its Respiratory Virus Guidance, which also applies to influenza and RSV.

Current CDC COVID-19 Protocol (2026)

If you have COVID-19 or symptoms of a respiratory virus:

• Stay home and away from others until both of the following are true for at least 24 hours:
• Your symptoms are improving overall; and
• You have been fever-free for at least 24 hours without using fever-reducing medication.

For the next 5 days after returning to normal activities, take extra precautions to reduce the chance of spreading the virus:

• CDC recommends wearing a well-fitting mask around others.
• Improve indoor ventilation when possible.
• Maintain physical distance if feasible.
• Practice good hand hygiene.
• Consider testing, especially before being around people at high risk for severe illness.
