Today — in the midst of record-breaking numbers of #Omicron cases — @CAPublicHealth has announced dangerous new protocol for asymptomatic health care workers who have tested positive for Covid-19 or been exposed.

@GavinNewsom: We want to protect our patients, not infect them!
Starting today, health care workers who test positive and are asymptomatic will be sent back to work IMMEDIATELY without isolation and without testing.
Those who have been exposed and are asymptomatic may return to work immediately without quarantine and without testing.
