What You Should Know and Do

Testing for COVID-19 remains a high priority for the County of Orange and provides critical information to inform response efforts. The scarcity of supplies, however, is a challenge as the demand for testing is high throughout the country. Until more robust supplies are available, it is important that the OC Health Care Agency and all healthcare providers prioritize available resources for the patients who are highest priority as identified in the guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Priorities for Testing Patients with Suspected COVID-19 Infection.

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).

Person Coughing

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 10 days.
