Original CDC article link.
Stay home for 14 days from the time you returned home from international travel.
During this 14-day period, take these steps to monitor your health and practice social distancing:
- Take your temperature with a thermometer two times a day and monitor for fever. Also, watch for a cough or trouble breathing. Use this temperature log to monitor your temperature.
- Stay home and avoid contact with others. Do not go to work or school.
- Do not take public transportation, taxis, or ride-shares.
- Keep your distance from others (about 6 feet or 2 meters).
What To Do If You Get Sick
If you get sick with fever or cough in the 14 days after you return from travel:
- Stay home. Avoid contact with others.
- You might have COVID-19; most people are able to recover at home without medical care.
- If you have trouble breathing or are worried about your symptoms, call or text a health care provider. Tell them about your recent travel and your symptoms.
- Call ahead before you go to a doctor’s office or emergency room.
If you need to seek essential medical care for other reasons, such as dialysis, call ahead to your doctor and tell them about your recent travel.
