If You Have Been Exposed to a Person with COVID-19
If you have been exposed to a person with COVID-19, it may take up to 10 days to know if you will get sick. It is important that you follow specific quarantine or isolation instructions from your healthcare provider or health department. Check your health two times each day for 10 days after an exposure to someone who is ill. Follow the steps below to check and record your health status:
-
Do health checks every morning and every night:
Watch for fever (100.4◦F), cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting or diarrhea.
-
If your health department asks you to report your temperature and any symptoms, follow their instructions.
-
Stay home away from others until 10 days after your last exposure:
- If possible, separate yourself from other household members that were not exposed especially those at higher-risk from getting very sick from COVID-19. Maintain physical distance (at least 6 feet) and wear a mask around other people or animals in or outside of the home.
-
If you develop COVID-19 symptoms such as fever (fever is 100.4°F/38°C or higher), cough, body aches, sore throat, etc.:
- Call your doctor or local Health Department, Orange County Health Care Agency at 800-564-8448 for testing recommendations. Remind them that you are self-monitoring.

VIRAL RESPIRATORY ILLNESS PREVENTION
Prevention is the best strategy to reduce your risk of viral infection.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after you have been in a public place. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are unavailable.
Wear a face covering when you are around other people not in your household, especially when indoors.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick or people outside of your home - keep at least a 6-foot distance. Remember that some people without symptoms can spread the virus. Stay out of crowded places and avoid mass gatherings.
Avoid touching your face, especially your eyes, nose and mouth. Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others.
Disinfect commonly touched surfaces such as counters, tables, keyboards, and doorknobs.
Avoid sharing drinks, eating utensils, sports equipment, towels and bedding.
Keep healthy by eating a balanced diet, drinking water, getting enough sleep, and managing stress.
Obtain a preventative vaccine such as the COVID-19 vaccine or flu shot if available.
