Mendocino County Public Health Officer Dr. Andy Coren is rescinding the local Isolation and Quarantine requirements for COVID-19 for the general public. Effective immediately, persons who have been in close contact with someone infected with COVID-19 and have no symptoms are no longer required to quarantine after their exposure, regardless of their vaccination status, unless they live or work in a high-risk setting. The change comes after the California Department of Public Health ended its quarantine recommendation for the general public. Exposed persons should still get tested for COVID 3-5 days after exposure and wear a mask around others for 10 days, but can continue to work, go to school, and participate in normal activities as long as they have no symptoms. The statewide COVID-19 Isolation Order remains in effect for people who have a positive test, COVID symptoms, or have been diagnosed by a provider.
