We’ve updated our site to provide direct links to the most up-to-date guidance and resources from the SF Dept. of Health and CDC sites. Know that the Omicron version of the virus spreads quickly, so important to know when and where to get tested to keep yourself and those around you safe. Generally, vaccinated people should test 5 to 7 days after exposure. Which is good to know as the test sites are booking now a week out.
Other updated info from the CLC –
The CDC’s quarantine recommendations for anyone exposed to COVID-19 were also updated:
• Individuals who have been fully vaccinated and boosted do not need to quarantine after exposure, but should wear a mask for 10 days after the exposure.
• Those who are unvaccinated or are more than six months out from their second MRNA dose, or two months from the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, should quarantine for 5 days and wear a mask for another 5 days.
All who are exposed are recommended to get a test 5 days after exposure. Individuals who exhibit symptoms should quarantine and get tested.
The agency cited that most COVID-19 transmission happens 1 to 2 days before symptoms appear and the 2 to three days after.
CLC has also established policies and practices for its programs, including both staff and participants. These details can be viewed and shared with other organizations here. Some updates are planned in light of the rapid spread of the Omicron version of the virus.
