Highlights
- Masks are strongly recommended by all staff and students while indoors in K-12 settings per CDPH Guidance for Face Coverings
- Masks are optional outdoors
- There are no minimum physical distancing requirements when other mitigation strategies (e.g. masking) are implemented

- Isolation can end after Day 5 if:
-
-
- Symptoms are not present, or are mild and improving; AND
- You are fever-free for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medication).
-
- If fever is present, isolation should be continued until 24 hours after fever resolves.
- If symptoms, other than fever, are not improving, continue isolation until symptoms are improving or after Day 10.
- If the confirmed case has severe symptoms, or is at high risk of serious disease or has questions concerning care, they should contact their healthcare provider for available treatments.
- Per CDPH masking guidance, infected persons should wear a well-fitting mask around others for a total of 10 days, especially in indoor settings.
- After you have ended isolation, if your symptoms recur or worsen, get tested again and if positive, restart isolation at Day 0.
