COVID-19 Insert
What is the difference between isolation and quarantine?
Isolation is for those who are already sick and/or have tested positive for COVID-19, but don’t require hospital admission for medical care. Quarantine is for people or groups who were exposed to COVID-19 by being in contact with someone who has been infected by COVID-19 and therefore might be infected. Quarantine keeps these people away from others, so they do not unknowingly infect anyone if they have actually been infected. Some people quarantined would have been infected and some would not have been infected. Quarantine normally lasts for 14 days.
