What You Should Know and Do
The OC Health Care Agency (your local health department) and our partners at the California Department of Public Health have shifted our approach from containment of COVID-19 to mitigation. This helps protect the most vulnerable populations by minimizing their exposure to the virus.
Most of us are already self-quarantining at home (per Governor Newsom's Executive Order) and only leaving the house for essential services (such as grocery shopping or visiting the pharmacy). Some of us are reporting to work in support of essential functions (such as staff at the grocery store or the pharmacy).
If you are showing symptoms such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath, and work in an essential function – you should self-isolate until you have symptom improvement and fever is gone for at least 72 hours; self-isolation should be at least 7 days.
If you are showing symptoms of illness and are already self-quarantining, try to avoid going outside until you are free of symptoms for 72 hours
If your symptoms get worse instead of better call your doctor
People with mild symptoms do not need to be tested for COVID-19.
Always dial 911 in an emergency.
