NEW Guidelines from LA County's Department of Public Health
Emerging evidence suggests that there may be a significant number of people infected with COVID-19 who lack symptoms and, yet, are capable of spreading the virus to others.
New guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests that we need to think about using universal precautions all the time – assuming that each of us can infect others even when we aren’t sick.
As a result, the Department of Public Health has updated its FAQ with answers to a number of questions, including:
- What should I do if I think I may have been exposed to COVID-19?
- What should I do if I have symptoms and think I may have been exposed to COVID-19?
- Can I get tested for COVID-19?
- How is COVID-19 treated?
- How can I protect myself and others from COVID-19?
