"If you do that at day 5, it's not going to be back at 24 hours. It may be back at 48 hours on that seventh day, but it's probably going to be more eight to ten."The Kansas Department of Health and Environment clarified on Friday that if you get a test back and are symptom free, you can be removed from quarantine after seven full days, which is on day 8. If you do not get tested, you must go 10 full days without symptoms to be released on day 11."We're trying to work with the community," Hammersmith said. "We know that it's hard to keep your businesses going when somebody's off work for 14 days. It's hard to get a paycheck when you have no work for two weeks."KDHE still recommends all exposed people should self-monitor for 14 days from exposure and contact healthcare provider if symptoms develop. The disease can still develop through day 14.

Even if using new quarantine rules, you still need to monitor for symptoms
