If symptoms appear at any time, quarantine period for symptomatic individuals starts (10 days from onset of symptoms, 24 hours w/out fever or fever reducing meds/ decrease in symptoms) It should be noted that 14 days is still the preferred time period for quarantine for exposed people without symptoms because this option greatly mitigates transmission of the virus Please see the MDHHS release: JIC News Release 388_Quarantine recommendation.pdf<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2Fl%2FeyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDMsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMDEyMDQuMzE1Njg2MzEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2NvbnRlbnQuZ292ZGVsaXZlcnkuY29tL2F0dGFjaG1lbnRzL01JTVNQLzIwMjAvMTIvMDQvZmlsZV9hdHRhY2htZW50cy8xNjE3MzU3L0pJQyUyME5ld3MlMjBSZWxlYXNlJTIwMzg4X1F1YXJhbnRpbmUlMjByZWNvbW1lbmRhdGlvbi5wZGYifQ.waX87y1tKXtoMM-u5gB2akNownc-D40o3gL84RlcG00%2Fs%2F1148882654%2Fbr%2F91090440376-l&data=04%7C01%7Cmembielac%40michigan.gov%7C195fabdd61464dedeb3708d8985d9c37%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C0%7C637426875219692533%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=xG90QSOUoPq2IN68z7q5%2B0V0CpOmXBDbWzsnd7K4FfY%3D&reserved=0> The CDC recommendations: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if-you-are-sick/quarantine.html (See "Options to Reduce Quarantine" section) Thanks!
