Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), active monitoring is where a local health department or your employer communicates with you on a daily basis to assess for fever or symptoms of COVID-19 (cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, myalgias, malaise).

This differs from self-monitoring where all on-duty EMS providers monitor themselves for fever by taking their temperature twice a day and monitor for symptoms of COVID-19. See CDC’s guidance on monitoring and LA County EMS Agency’s Guidance for more information.
