next steps:
1. ISOLATE YOURSELF
You must stay home until:
• At least 10 days* have passed since your symptoms first started and
• You have had no fever for at least 24 hours (without the use of medicine that reduces fevers) and
• Your symptoms have improved
*If you have a weak immune system you might need to stay home for longer than 10 days. Talk to your doctor.
2. Tell your close contacts that they need to quarantine and get tested for COVID-19
Your close contacts need to quarantine for 10 days from when they were last in contact with you. They also need
to monitor their health and be extra careful with regular COVID-19 precautions for 14 days.
A “close contact” is any person who was exposed to you while you were infectious (from 2 days before your
symptoms first started until your home isolation ends). This includes:
• Anyone who was within 6 feet of you for a total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period
• Anyone who had unprotected contact with your body fluids and/or secretions. For example, you coughed or
sneezed on them, you shared a drinking cup or eating utensils, you kissed, or they cared for you without
wearing the right protective equipment
Close contacts should follow the full quarantine instructions: ph.lacounty.gov/covidquarantine
3. Follow the isolation instructions including:
• Stay home except to get medical care
• Do not have any visitors
• Stay away from the others in your home. If you must be in the same room, wear a face
covering and try to stay at least 6 feet away,
especially from those at higher risk of severe
illness
• If you must be in a shared space, open
windows when possible
• Use a separate bathroom or disinfect a
shared bathroom after each use
• Do not make or serve food to others
• Cover your coughs and sneezes
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for
at least 20 seconds. Or, use hand sanitizer with
at least 60% alcohol
• Disinfect any surfaces you touch a lot
• Contact your doctor if your symptoms get
worse or concern you
• Call 9-1-1 if you have emergency signs. These
include trouble breathing, pressure or pain in
chest, bluish lips, confusion, hard to wake
