California's Sacramento County is calling off automatic 14-day quarantines that have been implemented for the coronavirus, saying it will focus instead on mitigating the impact of COVID-19.
The change is an acknowledgement that the county cannot effectively manage the quarantines while its health system copes with coronavirus cases. It also reflects problems with the U.S. government's coronavirus testing program — issues that slowed efforts to identify people with the deadly virus and to contain COVID-19.
"With the shift from containment to mitigation, it is no longer necessary for someone who has been in contact with someone with COVID-19 to quarantine for 14 days," the county says.
Effective immediately, people in Sacramento County should not quarantine themselves if they've been exposed to the COVID-19. Instead, they should go into isolation only if they begin to show symptoms of the respiratory virus, the county's health department says.

Are you really suprised? They just held a marathon this past weekend, they probably think if the virus spreads exponentially they can pin it on Trump and use it for political points.
Up is down, right is wrong, in the capital of left wing lunacy.
California's leadership is furious that Washington and New York are beating us in terms of coronavirus cases, it seems.
Right, plus it will help the Democratic party rid themselves of old people, which they seem to hate. Maybe it will spread into the homeless camps, and Governor Newsom can claim credit for solving the homeless crisis.
At a certain point quarantine becomes more of a hindrance than a help. When the disease has already been spreading in the community, quarantining everyone who came in contact with a carrier is not only impractical but completely impossible.
Someone beat you to it....

In my opinion I think thats whats happening. California wants the middle class out, and make it into a rich-only state, so of course they would want to get rid of their seniors
Ah, basis logic doesn't apply anymore. Travel bans don't work, quarantining infected people doesn't work. The only thing that works is doing the bare minimum. Well, when the United States has 10,000 cases like Italy does, and entire cities are deserted, and liberals lives are affected from the disease, maybe normal thought processes will again carry merit? Anything is possible.
Wow. And then low-functioning rightards tell us that the California left creates and attracts homelessness for some contrived political reason that hasn't been explained yet.
A shotgun approach to stupidity, I guess.
