FAQ
Workers who test positive for COVID-19 will be notified of their results by their healthcare providers or public health department and will likely be advised to self-isolate or seek medical care.
If the day 6-, 7-, 8-, or 9-day test comes back negative, whichever day comes first, you can return to work the following day, pending resolving symptoms and no fever for 24 hours. If your day 6-, 7-, 8-, or 9- test comes back positive, you must remain in isolation until the following day.
If you have tested positive for COVID-19, you must isolate. You can go back to your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both of the following are true: Your symptoms are getting better overall, AND. You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).
Avoid meeting people who are at very high risk for 10 days. This starts from the day you first had symptoms. This is because you may still be infectious for up to 10 days.
Isolate right away if you have symptoms. Stay home until you have no fever for 24 hours without taking fever-reducing medicine and other COVID-19 symptoms are getting better.

If the case is asymptomatic, exclusion is not required.
If you test positive for COVID-19, stay home for 5 days. After 5 days, if you are asymptomatic or your symptoms are resolving (without fever for 24 hours) you may return to work, but you should wear a mask around others for the following 5 days.

If you believe you have contracted COVID-19 on the job, OSHA recommends several steps you should take, including notifying your supervisor. Your employer can take actions that will keep others in your workplace healthy and may be able to offer you leave flexibilities while you are away from work.
Exclude from the workplace employees who test positive for COVID-19 regardless of vaccination status. For more information on this topic, please refer to the section in this FAQ on CDPH's Isolation and Quarantine Guidance. Exclude employees after a COVID-19 close contact when required.
