Anyone who is symptomatic, infected with, or has had close contact to someone with COVID-19 can access Alameda County's isolation and quarantine hotels for their own safety and to prevent the spread of infection (if they can't isolate in-place).

This optional and highly recommended treatment consists of a five-day course of anti-viral medications that can greatly reduce symptoms and risk of hospitalization or death.
