Employees may return when 24 hours have passed with no fever, without the use of fever-reducing medication, and symptoms are mild and improving, regardless of vaccination status.

You should isolate for at least 5 days counting from the day you began feeling sick (Day 0 is the day you began feeling sick; Day 1 is the next day).
