• The exposure period reflects the date or time that someone with coronavirus (COVID-19) visited that location. This visit occurred during the time that person was infectious. This includes 48 hours prior to them developing symptoms.
• Locations are identified during contact tracing. Contact tracing occurs after someone tests positive for coronavirus (COVID-19).
