California COVID-19 Recordkeeping Ends

As of February 3, 2026, California employers are no longer required to maintain COVID-19 case tracking records under Labor Code §3205.

Here’s what you need to know:
✔ COVID-19 case logs previously required under §3205(j) are no longer mandated
✔ Employers must continue maintaining their Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) under §3203
✔ Local health department orders may still apply

This update applies to California employers previously subject to the COVID-19 Prevention Standard.

While recordkeeping requirements have changed, compliance responsibilities remain. Now is a great time to review your IIPP and ensure your policies are up to date.
