Updated COVID Guidance 

In March 2024, CDC released updated Respiratory Virus Guidance in response to the decreasing risk that COVID-19 poses to the population. This updated Guidance includes strategies to protect people at highest risk of getting seriously ill and provides actionable recommendations for people with common viral respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19, flu, and RSV.
 

If you get sick:

Step 1: Stay at home. As much as possible, you should stay home and away from others until at least 24 hours after both

  • Your symptoms are getting better overall, and
  • You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).

Step 2: Resume normal activities, and use added prevention strategies over the next five days, such as taking more steps for cleaner air, enhancing your hygiene practices, wearing a well-fitting mask, keeping a distance from others, and/or getting tested for respiratory viruses. People can choose to use these prevention strategies at any time.

 
Remember, the best ways to stop the spread of infection is through good hand washing and staying home when sick.
