I would contact Tioga County Health , by phone, and ask for the name of the person who was a concern. If they cant give you a name there is a problem. If they tell you what it is they are talking about it, I would stay in the house for a couple weeks. Have my kids bring me fresh milk or whatever and just set it on the porch.

A random email from the county is not good enough. If they want me under quarantine, they had need to contact me directly with names and details. I'd go about my business as usual.

Given the seriousness of the situation and that the directions provided were explicit and clear, if you have to ask what you should do perhaps you should check yourself for a fever. It appears you are having trouble focusing and understanding crystal clear directions.

Yes! Just follow directions from your overlords and don's ask questions! Shame on you for questioning the intelligence and decision making of your benevolent rulers!

I like Danny's suggestion to contact the health dept for specifics, but once it's verified to be applicable to the recipient, driving around on country roads creates an unnecessary risk to others. A flat tire, other breakdown, or an accident could easily bring an infected person in contact with another person or persons.

So who was it you OR your family member? It said you OR your family member has to remain in quarantine but it doesn't say which one of you. I agree sounds like B.S.
