Was the case in self-isolation/quarantine at the time of onset (or diagnosis if asymptomatic)?

• Reason for self-isolation/quarantine – please select the option that best describes the basis of your PHU’s decision to treat this case as potentially infectious.

• Facility room no. - room number(s) at the first self-isolation/quarantine facility where a diagnosed or potential case stayed. If the case was in more than one room at this facility, please enter each room number in this field separated by a comma (,).
