The spread of <br /> Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a danger to the health of the public in San Joaquin <br /> County. COVID-19 can easily spread between people who are in close contact with one another. <br /> This Quarantine Order is needed to protect the public from avoidable risk of serious illness or <br /> death from exposure to COVID-19. There is risk of COVID-19 spreading from infected persons <br /> before they develop symptoms and from people with mild or no symptoms. Thus, all individuals <br /> who are infected with COVID-19, regardless of their symptoms (none, mild or severe), may put <br /> other members of the public at risk. <br /> To help slow the spread of COVID-19, to protect vulnerable individuals, and to prevent the <br /> healthcare system in San Joaquin County from being overwhelmed, it is necessary for San <br /> Joaquin County Public Health Services (PHS) to quarantine people who have been exposed to <br /> someone who is infected with COVID-19. <br /> UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE CALIFORNIA HEALTH AND <br /> SAFETY CODE SECTIONS 101040, 101085, AND 120175, SAN <br /> JOAQUIN COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICER ORDERS: <br /> All household members, intimate partners, caregivers of a person with COVID-19, <br /> and individuals who have had close contact to a person with COVID-19 are <br /> required to follow all instructions in this Order and the San Joaquin County Public <br /> Health Services guidance documents referenced in this Order. <br /> Violation of this Order is a crime, punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 and/or a <br /> year in jail. (Health & Safety Code §§ 120295 et seq.; California Penal Code §§ 69 & <br /> 148) <br /> Quarantine Requirements for Household Contacts, <br /> Intimate Partners, Caregivers, and Close Contacts of Persons with COVID-19 <br />
