As we head in to the back to school season and many indoor activities resume, it is important to remember that COVID-19 is still circulating in our community.

If you have symptoms, please stay home when possible until you are fever-free (without using fever-reducing medication) AND your symptoms have been improving for 24 hours (48 hours for vomiting/diarrhea). If you can’t stay home, consider wearing a well-fitting mask and avoid all non-essential maskless activities for 10 days from when your symptoms started.

Some people are at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 – people who are 65 years and older, pregnant, have chronic medical conditions or are immunocompromised. It is important to continue to reduce the spread by washing your hands often, cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, disinfect high-touch surfaces in your home and workplace and stay up to date on 

COVID-19 boosters.
