Alameda County will continue to align with the state’s guidance for indoor mega events and move vaccine verification or proof of negative test in these settings to strong recommendations after April 1.
Alameda County continues to require isolation and guidance as noted on its website page. Local requirements are based on both CDC and state isolation and quarantine guidance which remain in place. CDC and the state have already modified their recommendations over time to be less restrictive and we may see more such modifications in the future. The County doesn't have a timeline for when the CDC or CDPH will make further changes to their guidance.
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) stopped accepting uninsured claims for testing and treatment on March 22 due to lack of sufficient funds. Our communities have benefited greatly from HRSA resources that have supported access to COVID-19 testing and the County is working with CDPH to ensure testing resources such as at home kits and rapid testing are available as well. Alameda County Community testing, which focuses on providing low barrier testing to uninsured and underinsured residents and communities most impacted by COVID-19, will remain fundamentally intact.

What’s the difference between fully vaccinated versus up-to-date vaccination?
- Fully vaccinated means you’ve had two doses of an mRNA vaccine such as Pfizer or Moderna or one dose of J&J. If someone finished their primary series of an mRNA vaccine two months ago, they are up to date.
- Up to date means that you’ve been boosted IF you are booster eligible. If someone finished their primary series of an mRNA vaccine six months prior and aren’t boosted, they are not up to date.
- J&J recipients require a booster at two months.
Alameda County reminds residents there are therapeutic drugs available to prevent and treat COVID-19 in high risk patients to help prevent hospitalization and death.
- Evusheld is a preventative treatment available in Alameda County and other treatments for COVID-19 include antivirals (oral and intravenous) and COVID monoclonal antibodies.
- If residents test positive for COVID-19 at home or other sites including retail pharmacy chains, federal testing sites, or community sites and clinics, they should contact a health professional right away to determine if they are eligible for treatment, even if symptoms are mild.
- Visit the COVID-19 public therapeutic website to identify locations of publicly available drugs like Evusheld (monoclonal antibody), Molnupiravir (antiviral), and Paxlovid (antiviral).
- Don’t delay, test soon and treat early. For more information visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s fact sheet and the federal test to treat fact sheet for guidance.
Alameda County health officials strongly recommend the following tips for protection against COVID-19:
- Get vaccinated and boosted – vaccination is the single most important public health strategy to prevent spread of severe disease and death from COVID-19.
- Layer your protection — stay up to date on vaccines, wear masks, get tested if exposed or ill, and stay home if sick.
- Talk to your medical provider if you are immunocompromised or have other health risks.
- Wear a mask, especially if you answer yes to any of the following:
- Are you over age 65 or have health issues that puts you at risk for a severe case of COVID-19?
- Are you missing one or more of your COVID-19 vaccine doses?
- Do you live/visit with people at risk of going to the hospital if they get COVID-19?
- Do you go to work with your co-workers or interact with the public regularly?
- Are cases high where you live or where you are going?
