Facemask use is not required while outdoors.

PERSONS REQUIRED TO FOLLOW THIS HEALTH OFFICER ORDER: All individuals who reside or work in the Los Angeles County Health jurisdiction who have been exposed to a person diagnosed with COVID-19 (close contacts), whether exempt from quarantine or not, are to follow the requirements of this Order specific to their situation and the instructions for quarantine, as indicated below.

This order does not apply to management of exposed health care personnel working within the health care setting nor does it apply to the management of exposed Emergency Medical Service personnel working within the prehospital or healthcare setting. Exposed health care personnel should refer to Work Restrictions for Asymptomatic HCP with Exposures. Emergency Medical Service personnel should refer to Work Restrictions for Asymptomatic EMS Personnel with Exposures.

This order also does not apply to the management of exposed residents and, in terms of work restrictions or work exclusions, exposed staff in other specified high-risk settings. Exposed residents and staff in the following high-risk settings must follow the requirements specific to their setting:

-Long-term care centers

-Adult and Senior Care Facilities

-Homeless shelters

-Correctional facilities and Detention centers

-Cooling centers and emergency shelters

Due to Cal/OSHA COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standards (ETS), workers in other settings who have been exposed are required to follow the Cal-OSHA exclusions and/or return to work requirements. Refer to LA County Responding to COVID-19 in the Workplace for additional details. Please note that for exposures occurring within the workplace, Cal-OSHA uses a different definition of close contact.

Please note that for exposures at educational settings, a different definition of close contact for children/students may be used. See http://ph.lacounty.gov/acd/ncorona2019/parents/.
