Testing for COVID-19 can help you get effective treatment and protect people at high risk. You may still have COVID-19 or another contagious respiratory illness, even if you get a negative home test result.

If you test positive for COVID-19 but don’t have symptoms, you should still wear a mask and take additional precautions for 5 days.

If you have questions about your illness or are worried about your symptoms, reach out to your healthcare provider.

• Your symptoms are getting better overall, and 
• You have not had a fever (Test for COVID-19, if available)

When returning to normal activities, wear a mask and take precautions over the next 5 days, such as: 

• Improving airflow and filtration 
• Washing hands often with soap and water 
• Physically distancing 
• Cleaning frequently
• Consider re-testing before being around other people indoors

Consider staying away from people who are at high risk of getting very sick from COVID-19 (such as older adults and people with weakened immune systems) until:

• 10 days have passed since your illness began, or 
• You test negative for COVID-19 with an antigen test (such as a self-test)

If you must be around someone at high risk of getting very sick during this time, wear a mask.
