The Colorado Department of Public Health and Boulder County Public Health Department have recently expanded the categories of people who must quarantine after a known exposure to the virus.
An exposure is defined as an individual who has had close contact (within 6 feet for a total of 15 minutes) with a COVID-19 case in the two days prior to symptom onset, through the cases isolation period. If you are aware of having been exposed, please follow these guidelines.
Who needs to quarantine? – Close contacts who are not up-to-date on COVID-19 vaccines
• Have not completed a primary COVID-19 vaccine series – Primary series: two doses of Pfizer or Moderna, or one dose of Johnson & Johnson, for some immunocompromised people, a primary series may include three doses.
