FAQ

This means that, as of February 3, 2025, there will no longer be a specific set of regulatory requirements relating to COVID-19 prevention in the workplace.

That said, you are contagious with COVID for an average of eight days (although this varies based upon the severity of illness) and you should take precautions to prevent others from getting it during this time frame.

During all phases of reopening, employers should implement strategies for basic hygiene (e.g., hand hygiene; cleaning and disinfection), social distancing, identification and isolation of sick employees, workplace controls and flexibilities, and employee training that are appropriate for the particular phase.

If you test positive, you are strongly encouraged to isolate (stay home and away from other people) for at least 5 full days, to prevent spreading the disease to others. Isolation is recommended even if you have been vaccinated or have had COVID-19 before.

In ance with guidance from the CDC, if you test positive for COVID-19 you should: Isolate for 5 days regardless of vaccination status. Only leave isolation after 5 days if you have no symptoms or your symptoms are improving, including at least 24 hours without a fever.

Ending isolation: You can end isolation after 5 days if you test negative (use an antigen test) on Day 5 or later – as long as you do not have a fever and your symptoms are getting better. If you still test positive on or after Day 5 or if you don't test, isolate for 10 full days, and until you don't have a fever.

The law: Requires employers to notify employees who may have been exposed to COVID-19 and to report workplace outbreaks to the local health department. Requires the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to publicly report information on workplace outbreaks by industry.

You can leave isolation if you have no fever for 24 hours without taking fever-reducing medicine and other COVID-19 symptoms are getting better. Once you have returned to your usual activities, take the precautions below for the next 5 days.

“In the early days of the pandemic, it was recommended to isolate for 10 days after having a positive COVID test. And then a few years ago, the CDC changed its recommendation: you could come out of isolation five days after receiving a positive test and wear a mask for the additional five days.”

Employees infected with COVID-19 and have symptoms must be excluded from the workplace as follows: Until 24 hours have passed with no fever, without the use of fever-reducing medications, AND. Their symptoms are mild and improving.
