To keep kids safe and in school, get your child vaccinated, stay home when ill, and get tested if they have symptoms or were exposed to COVID-19. If your child is ill or has been exposed to COVID-19, keep all other children in your household home too.

How to keep the COVID-19 Community Levels Low: With current high levels of vaccination and high levels of population immunity from both vaccination and infections, the risk of medically significant disease, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19 is greatly reduced for most people. At the same time, we know that some people and communities, such as our oldest citizens, people who are immunocompromised, and people with disabilities, are at higher risk for serious illness and face challenging decisions navigating a world with COVID-19. The following are important steps that you should take to protect those who are most vulnerable and keep the COVID-19 Community Level low:
-
Regardless of vaccination status or COVID-19 Community Level, wear a mask around others if you have symptoms, test positive, or have been exposed to COVID-19.
-
Follow quarantine guidance. If you are not up to date on your COVID-19 vaccines and have been exposed to COVID-19, stay home for 5 days and wear a mask around others for 10 days following exposure. If you were exposed to COVID-19 and are up to date on your vaccines, wear a mask around others for 10 days following exposure.
-
Get tested if you are experiencing symptoms or if you have been exposed to COVID-19.
-
If you test positive for COVID-19, follow isolation guidance and notify your close contacts.
-
Be sure to stay up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines by getting your booster or additional dose if eligible. Visit www.wcvaccine.org to find a clinic near you.
