Future test dates include February 17. The CDC and Santa Clara County Public Health Department recommend all essential workers be tested at least monthly for COVID-19. You may be tested more often.
Testing should not be considered a free pass to gather with family or friends, and Public Health Officials have advised against travel and gathering outside your immediate household. Nonessential travel is not recommended. If you travel 120 miles from home, it is required by the State of California that you self-quarantine for 10 days after your return.
REMINDER:
The best way to protect yourself, your family, and others you may care about:
- Wash your hands frequently or use hand sanitizer
- Wear a face covering when in public buildings, in line at businesses, and whenever distancing cannot be maintained
- Maintain a minimum six-foot distance between others not in your immediate household. More distance is better
When conducting contact tracing, the CDC defines a close contact as anyone within six-feet of a known or suspected case for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period. Maintain your distance at all times.
