COVID-19 - Ontario
Self-Isolation Rule Flowcharts |
NOTE: Ontario has changed their self-isolation rules which can now be found here.
*** HISTORICAL INFORMATION BELOW (Last Updated: January 2022) ***
This page contains historical flow charts to help better understand the Ontario self-isolation rules implemented at the end of December 2021 but are no longer in effect.
Ontario stopped providing COVID-19 testing to the general public and completely changed their isolation guidelines which can be confusing so I have created a flowchart to try and make things easier to understand. The flowchart is based on the rules provided by Ontario listed on the official site.*NOTE: There is a separate school and child care screening tool from the province parents need to complete before a child attends each day. Even if a child does not meet the criteria to self-isolate, that may still not be allowed to attend school/child-care. Please see the COVID-19 school and child care screening form. There is also a COVID-19 self-assessment tool for adults which asks some additional questions like recent travel.
This is broken down into 3 charts:
1) If you have symptoms
2) If you are a close contact to someone with symptoms or tested positive
3) If you have a positive test result
Ontario requests that people who qualify to stop self-isolating after 5 days should wear a mask, practice physical distancing, and follow all other public health measures if leaving home until day 10.
