Individuals who are vaccinated, as well as children under 12 who have symptoms of COVID-19 will be required to isolate for 5 days following the onset of symptoms. These individuals can end isolation after 5 days if their symptoms are improving for at least 24 hours, and all public health and safety measures, such as masking and physical distancing, are followed.
