While it is difficult to find rapid tests right now, testing is available at County sites, though people seeking testing should expect delays. If you can’t access a test for any reason and are symptomatic, stay home regardless of your vaccination status. If you are exposed and unvaccinated or not boosted, stay home. Find a testing site.

Everyone, regardless of their vaccination status, must wear a mask in all indoor public settings.

Alameda County public health officials shared the following recommendations for those who plan to travel over the New Year:

  • Keep gatherings small, short, and outdoors if possible. 
  • When gathering inside, ventilate well. Open doors and windows, run HVAC systems, and install high-quality air filters. 
  • Everyone must wear a mask in indoor public settings. Consider wearing a mask in indoor private settings if you are gathering with medically vulnerable friends and family or you don’t know the vaccination status of those around you. 
  • If possible, get tested to know your COVID-19 status before gathering with friends and family. Plan to test 3-5 days after gathering or traveling too. 
  • Stay home if you are sick or positive, even if you use an at-home test.
