COVID-19 INFORMATION
According to the CDC, the five-day isolation period for persons testing positive for COVID has been lifted.
This means, you may return to your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both of the following are true:
- Your symptoms are getting better overall, and
- You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).
In addition to the virus that causes COVID-19, other types of respiratory viruses, including flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), cause millions of illnesses and thousands of hospitalizations and deaths in the United States each year. You can help protect yourself and others from health risks caused by respiratory viruses. Read the CDC guidelines on respiratory viruses.
We advise you to stay home if you are sick. New guidelines recommend you stay away from others until you are fever-free and have improving symptoms for 24 hours. You do not need to isolate if you have been exposed to COVID-19 or test positive and have no symptoms. Find more specific recommendations for fighting the spread of respiratory viruses.
While there are no specific requirements in place, we continue to recommend that you stay up to date on your vaccines. This is the best way to protect yourself against serious illness, especially among older and more vulnerable populations.
We respect our community members who choose to wear masks.
