Information for Businesses and Workers
Para negocios y trabajadores 

We know that COVID-19 has placed an enormous burden on businesses and workers in our community. Instructions for businesses and reopening are developed in close consultation with local agencies and based on health guidance from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to create safer workspaces.

Positive Case Reporting 

Reporte de casos positivos

CCHS strongly recommends employers allow those who have tested positive for COVID-19 to return to work 10 days after symptom onset. If the employee did not have symptoms, we advise return to work 10 days after their first positive test. We do not advise requiring a negative test to return to work after quarantine has been completed. We also do not provide clearance letters for people to return to work. Notes from doctors or medical providers are also not advised.
