A shortened quarantine protocol after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 exposure was implemented on a college campus. We assessed data on exposures, symptoms, and tests in 1152 unvaccinated individuals released from quarantine on day 7. A shortened quarantine period for asymptomatic individuals testing negative can be implemented with low risk.
