Santa Clara County released new COVID-19 quarantine guidance on Monday, which shortens the length of quarantine from 14 to 10 days. The new guidance applies to both close contacts of COVID-19 cases and those subject to the county s mandatory travel quarantine. We constantly want to take into account all the best science we have, said Dr. Sarah Rudman, assistant health officer and director of case investigation and contact tracing.

Essentially, the new guidelines are about finding the balance between the benefit of quarantining and the benefit of getting people back to school or work, Rudman said.
