CDC fhas a simple interactive tool to tell when to test yourself and how long to quarantine if you're exposed to COVID.

The CDC finally has a simple interactive tool that tells you when to test yourself and how long to quarantine if you're exposed to COVID. Here's how it works. The tool is long overdue, but it's a great way to quickly assess how long you could be contagious, and which date is best for you to take a test. YahooNews

• The CDC has released a new quiz that tells you the best time to test, how long to isolate, and whether to wear a mask if you've been exposed to COVID.

• The tool only requires answering a few simple questions, yielding answers in 3-4 clicks.

After two years of confusing guidance on when to isolate or quarantine for COVID-19, how to test, when to re-emerge into society, and how long to keep masking afterwards, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has at long last designed a simple, 3-to-4-click tool for determining exactly how long to isolate and/or wear a mask around other people, if you have:

• been exposed to someone who has COVID-19, or

• tested positive for COVID-19 yourself.

The tool — similar to an online quiz — is a more personalized, straightforward approach than the fine-print-laden guidelines the CDC came up with last winter.

Here's a quick primer on how to use the helpful new tool.
