Masks may no longer be required in most indoor public places, but masking continues to be important for those who test positive for COVID-19 or were exposed to someone with COVID-19.
Wearing a mask if you test positive or are exposed to COVID-19 can prevent you from spreading the virus to others.
Here’s when you should wear a mask:
• If you test positive and must be around others in your home during your isolation.
• If you end isolation after 5 days because symptoms are improving, wear a mask anytime you are around others for another 5 full days (days 6-10).
• If you were exposed to someone with COVID-19, wear a mask anytime you’re around others for 10 days after your last contact (even if you’re up to date on your COVID-19 vaccines or recently had COVID-19).
