San Francisco is aligning their COVID-19 isolation and quarantine guidance with the State of California. It's similar to the CDC guidance from earlier this week, but includes testing.
San Francisco Department of Public Health on Friday announced updated recommendations for their COVID isolation and quarantine protocol. The update aligns with California Department of Public Health guidance afterPeople who have tested positive for COVID-19, or are experiencing symptoms, should isolate for five days instead of the previously recommended 10 days. To emerge from isolation, they should produce a negative test on day five and have no COVID symptoms.
For people who are vaccinated, have their boosters and come into close contact with someone who is COVID positive, while you don't need to quarantine, you should test five days after the potential exposure. "They must wear a well-fitting mask around others for a total of 10 days after contact. If symptoms develop, they should test and stay home," according to the health department.
