On January 14, 2022, Cal/OSHA published fact sheets and updated its FAQs on COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards (ETS).  The fact sheets clarify the isolation and quarantine requirements for employers and employees (the image above is a portion of the fact sheet published by Cal/OSHA).  A major clarification from Cal/OSHA set forth that employees who are booster-eligible, but who have not yet received the booster, if exposed to someone with COVID-19 they do not need to quarantine as long as they are asymptomatic and must receive a negative test 3-5 days after the close contact.

Cal/OSHA’s updated FAQs can be found here.
