If you were within 6 feet of another person for a total of 15 minutes or more during a single day — even if you were wearing a mask — let them know so that they can quarantine and get tested. The faster people are able to quarantine, the better the chance of slowing the spread of COVID-19. Use the contact tracing worksheet (PDF) developed by the State of Alaska to help you do that.
