  • You have been in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19
  • You are an essential worker (health care worker, first responder, food service worker, or transit worker)
  • You were recently in a large crowd where social distancing was hard to maintain
  • You recently traveled to an area or a state with high COVID-19 infection rates
