❓ Should I wear a mask? What do I do if I test positive?
CDPH Director and State Public Health Officer Dr. Erica Pan is here, answering two of the most common COVID-19 questions we hear.
Masking: if you're older, immunocompromised, or around vulnerable loved ones, wearing a mask in crowded indoor spaces is a smart precaution. It's also worth considering if you're sick, recovering from COVID-19, or in a crowded indoor space.
Testing positive: stay home and rest while you're sick, avoid close contact with others, stay hydrated with plenty of clear fluids, cover your cough and sneeze, and wash your hands with soap and water.
