PLEASE ALWAYS FOLLOW THE SAFETY GUIDANCE BELOW

YOU NEVER KNOW WHO HAS COVID

YOU ARE PROTECTING NOT JUST YOURSELF

YOU ARE PROTECTING EVERYONE

WHAT IS COVID EXPOSURE/CONTACT?

• If you are closer than six feet to someone with COVID, for more than 15 minutes in a 24-hour period, that is close contact / exposure

WHAT IF I GET EXPOSED?

• If you are exposed, you must get covid-tested and go into quarantine (self-isolation)
• Click here for FREE COVID TESTING options in the Sacramento area

QUARANTINE GUIDELINES

• 10 days of quarantine if you do not have a negative COVID test
• 7 days of quarantine if you do have negative COVID test (regular test strongly preferred — versus a rapid test, which is less reliable)

AVOIDING COVID-19

1. ALWAYS WEAR A MASK (it’s also better if those around you wear masks) — let us know if you need masks
2. MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCE from others (more than 6 feet)
3. AVOID OTHERS WHO HAVE COVID SYMPTOMS (keep visits < 15 minutes)
   • (Fever or chills, Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, Fatigue, Muscle or body aches, Headache, New loss of taste or smell, Sore throat, Congestion or runny nose, Nausea or vomiting, Diarrhea)
4. DON’T TOUCH YOUR FACE with unclean hands
5. PRACTICE HYGIENE (wear nitrile gloves, wash hands frequently, don’t touch your face with your hands, sterilize frequently used surfaces such as countertops and door handles) — let us know if you need nitrile gloves

AVOIDING SPREADING COVID-19

1. DO EVERYTHING ABOVE (“AVOIDING COVID-19”)
   • Always wear a mask
   • Maintain social distance
   • Avoid others who have symptoms
   • Don’t touch your face
   • Practice hygiene

3. LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE COVID SYMPTOMS

   • …and you were not wearing a mask — or — the other person was not wearing a mask
