-Self isolate at home for 14 days from the onset of your symptoms

YOU TESTED NEGATIVE

If no known exposures to a Covid -19 case:
-You should remain in self-isolation for 24 hours after your symptoms resolve
If you recently travelled outside of Canada or have been in close contact (eg. in the household or workplace) with a case of Covid -19, you need to:
