Alberta's Isolation and Quarantine Requirements

Isolating and quarantining help prevent the spread of COVID-19 by reducing the number of people you could infect if you're sick. Both require staying home and avoiding situations where the virus could spread.

Albertans are legally required to:

​

• isolate for 10 days if you tested positive or have any core symptoms that are not related to a pre-existing illness or health condition

• quarantine for 14 days if you are a close contact of someone with COVID-19, or if you travelled outside Canada
