    • Day 0 is the day of your last exposure to someone with COVID-19
    • Day 1 is the first full day after your last exposure
  • Do not go places where you are unable to wear a mask, including travel and public transportation settings.

  NOTE: You can still develop COVID-19 up to 10 days after you have been exposed
