Please note: New state guidance uses symptoms-based approach instead of five day isolation for positive COVID-19 test result and symptoms
With an end declared to California's COVID-19 state of emergency, state health officials have announced updates to several pandemic-era public health orders related to vaccines, masking, isolation and quarantine. One big change that will impact schools is reduced isolation time for individuals recovering from COVID-19. On Jan. 9, the California Department of Public Health issued new COVID-19 Isolation and Testing guidance that recommend a person who has tested positive with COVID-19 use a symptoms-based approach where as long as they are feeling well, have improving symptoms and are fever-free for 24 hours, they can return to work or school.
