This guidance manages illnesses like flu, COVID, and RSV in the same manner.

b.      Your other symptoms are improving AND

c.      For at least the first 5 days after you resume normal activities, you take extra precautions:

1.      Wear a mask anytime you are indoors around other people 

2.      Frequent handwashing

3.      Avoid spending time with people who are at increased risk for severe disease
