A “close contact” is any of the following people who were exposed to an “infected person*” while they were infectious: a. An individual who was within 6 feet of the infected person for more than 15 minutes b. An individual who had unprotected contact with the infected person’s body fluids and/or secretions, for example, being coughed or sneezed on, sharing utensils or saliva, or providing care without wearing appropriate protective equipment. *An infected person is anyone with COVID-19, or who is suspected to have COVID-19, and is considered to be infectious from 48 hours before their symptoms first appeared until they are no longer required to be isolated (as described in Home Isolation Instructions for People with COVID-19 which can be accessed at ph.lacounty.gov/covidisolation). A person with a positive COVID-19 test but no symptoms is considered to be infectious from 48 hours before their test was taken until 10 days after their test.
