California Updates COVID Isolation Guidelines: Key Points to Note
California and Los Angeles County have relaxed their COVID-19 isolation guidance, now advising infected individuals to isolate only while experiencing active symptoms, with asymptomatic individuals not required to do so. Masking is recommended for 10 days after symptom onset or first positive test, and infected individuals should seek medical advice for potential treatment. Testing is still recommended for symptomatic individuals, but negative results from at-home rapid tests may not be as accurate, requiring retesting after 48 hours if symptoms persist.
