(KNZA)--Brown County has adopted shorten quarantine guidelines from the CDC and Kansas Department of Health and Environment for asymptomatic persons who have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.

The Brown County Health Department made the announcement Monday on its Facebook page.

The new guidelines state that quarantines may end for persons showing no symptoms of COVID-19 infection after seven full days if they take a PCR test on the sixth day of quarantine and receive a negative test result, or after 10 full days without a test.

Brown County joins several surrounding counties in adopting the shortened quarantine guidelines, which can viewed on the Brown County Health Department's Facebook page.

KDHE still recommends people monitor themselves for symptoms for 14 days after coming into contact with someone who has tested positive for the virus.
