During your Isolation Period, please follow the instructions below:

1. Do not leave your home or another residence except to receive necessary medical care or during an emergency that requires evacuation to protect the health and safety of the individual.
2. Stay in a specified room away from other household members and use a separate bathroom if possible. If areas need to be shared, like a kitchen or a bathroom, increase the frequency of cleaning those areas, including doorknobs, fixtures, and toilets.
3. Do not leave your place of isolation to work, even if your work is permitted under the Shelter in Place Order No. c19-5c issued on April 29, 2020, or as further amended.
4. Do not travel, even if otherwise permissible under the Shelter in Place Health Officer Order No. c19-5c issued on April 29, 2020, or as further amended, with the exception of travel to access necessary medical care.
5. Utilize delivery services, such as Amazon or Instacart.

If you frequent, volunteer, or work in a skilled nursing facility, a nursing home, a memory care center, a correctional/detention facility, a shelter, a group home, a day program, a dialysis center, or a healthcare facility, or as a first responder, take reasonable steps to inform each such facility that you have been required to isolate.
