1/ With high rates of viral transmission all over the country, people who have traveled should be advised to quarantine when they return. Many people will not know that they’ve had an exposure, but they can still stop onward transmission chains by quarantining. #covid19
2/ But important to remember that quarantining does not mean walking around your house as if things are normal.
It means avoiding contact with others in the home and wearing a mask if you need to leave your separate space.

3/ Some places allow people to end quarantine if they have had one negative test. Important to remember that one negative test does not mean you are “safe”— the best bet would be to get tested upon return and again within a few days to cover a longer incubation period. #covid19
4/ If you have tested positive or have had a known exposure, letting your public health department know for contact tracing purposes is extremely important. This can feel difficult or embarrassing, but your action matters and can save other peoples lives. #covid19
5/ Some may argue (some already are in the comments) that there is no point in telling people that have traveled to quarantine bc they won’t follow that advice either. I don’t think that’s true. I think that every action counts and every step someone can take matters. #covid19
6/ Many people traveled for many different reasons. Some of these may have been emergencies; others may have done so with extreme precautions taken; some may have been “careless”—

Every day is a day to do whatever we can. #covid19
