"If [you test positive for COVID-19, flu, or RSV and live in] the same household as someone who is over the age of 65, younger than 2, or has an immune-comprosing condition, it’s probably a good idea to stay away from others and mask inside the house. But if everyone in the house is generally healthy and up-to-date on their vaccinations, I think the requirement for strict isolation inside of a household is a little more gray." —Matthew Binnicker, director of clinical virology at the Mayo Clinic |
