❐The Health Department and the CDC strongly recommend not traveling right now. If your family needs to quarantine, be sure to let the school know what dates your student will be out of school.
❐Quarantine is for people who might have been exposed to COVID-19, so they need to stay away from other people for 14 days. Quarantine is for:
- people who were in close contact with someone sick with COVID-19 (day 1 of your quarantine starts the day after you were last in contact with them).
- Vermonters who travel out of state (day 1 of your quarantine starts the day after you return to Vermont).
- people with no symptoms who are visiting Vermont (day 1 of your quarantine starts the day after you arrive in Vermont).
- people who have gathered with another household (day 1 of your quarantine starts the day after the gathering).
**For any of the above situations, if you have not had symptoms of COVID-19, you have the option to get a PCR test on day 7 and end your quarantine with a negative test result.**
❐Commonly asked questions
- Do I need to quarantine if I live with someone who is awaiting COVID results? No
- Do I need to quarantine if I live with someone who is under quarantine because they are a close contact? No
- Do I need to quarantine if travelers are staying at my home? No
**For any of the above situations, stay 6 feet from the person who is under quarantine; people who are under quarantine should wear a mask in common spaces, use a separate bathroom, eat separately, and otherwise not be in close contact with others in the household; disinfect commonly touched surfaces; and check yourself for symptoms for 14 days.**
