Fully vaccinated people do not need to be tested or to self-isolate, but SHA said they should self-monitor for COVID-19 symptoms until Sept. 24 and seek testing if any symptoms develop.

The SHA said self-isolation means staying at home, avoiding contact with anyone who is not fully vaccinated, and staying away from work, school, stores, social events and any other public setting.

Anyone developing symptoms should contact HealthLine 811, their physician or nurse practitioner.

Symptoms may develop from two to 14 days following exposure to the virus that causes COVID-19.
