The CDC updated recommendations for quarantine (staying away from others when you have been in close contact with someone with COVID-19) and isolation (staying away from others when you test positive for COVID-19). In addition, the recommendations for quarantine and isolation no longer differ by vaccination status. See the Isolation and quarantine page for updated scenarios for what do to if you test positive for or are in close contact with someone who has COVID-19.
