12/31/21 Press Release About Long Beach Protocols on Quarantine and Isolation

Pre Press Release (Information Listed Below is from the 12/31/21 Press Release)

Isolation

Those who test positive for COVID-19, regardless of vaccination status, previous infection or lack of symptoms, will be required to self-isolate for at least five days.
People may only end their self-isolation after day five if they are asymptomatic or fever-free and their symptoms are improving and they test negative on or after day five.

Quarantine

Individuals who are fully vaccinated and have received their COVID-19 vaccine booster, if eligible, do not need to quarantine following a COVID-19 exposure.
If symptoms occur, individuals should immediately isolate and test as soon as possible (do not wait until five days after exposure to retest if symptoms develop earlier) and, if positive, continue to self-isolate as described above.
Those who are unvaccinated, partially vaccinated or fully vaccinated and eligible for a booster but have not yet received their booster dose, who come in close contact with someone who has or is suspected to have COVID-19 must quarantine for at least five days after their last contact with that person/persons.
People only may end their quarantine period after day five if they are asymptomatic and test negative on or after day five. If unable or unwilling to test, and symptoms are not present, quarantine can end on day 10.
