Patients, caregivers, family members exposed to someone with COVID-19 and calling your office asking what they should do?

Triage team / clinical staff overwhelmed?

On March 30, 2022, the CDC provided an easy-to-use [online calculator](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/quarantine-isolation.html?ACSTrackingID=USCDC_2067-DM78705&ACSTrackingLabel=New%20Quarantine%20and%20Isolation%20Calculator%20%7C%20COVID-19&deliveryName=USCDC_2067-DM78705#anchor_1642600273484) that takes the stress out of deciding when, and for how long, people with COVID-19 and their close contacts need to stay home, get tested, and wear a well-fitting mask. 

The online calculator is mobile friendly and provides a simple, easy-to-use way to help people follow guidance and get customized information that applies to their unique situation.
