I found out I was exposed to someone who has COVID yesterday. I took a test and tested negative. I am wondering if I can go to work tomorrow or if I should quarantine. I got the moderna vaccine in august but have not been boosted since it has not been 6 months.
Testing too soon after an exposure may not provide the information on whether you were truly infected. The CDC recommends that you get tested 5 days after your exposure. The CDC recommends that you quarantine for at least 5 days. Since you have not received your booster dose yet, you are not up-to-date with your vaccination and MUST wear a well-fitting mask (preferably a KN95 mask) when around others in the home or out in public.
The latest CDC guidelines for isolation and quarantine is here:
