Planning a Weekend Get-Together?
|
|
- Remind invited guests to stay home if they have been exposed to COVID-19 in the last 14 days or are showing COVID-19 symptoms. Anyone who has had close contact with a person who has COVID-19 should also stay home and monitor their health. Invited guests who live with those at higher risk should also consider the potential risk to their loved ones.
- People in high-risk groups, like those over age 65 and those who have underlying medical conditions, should take extra precautions by staying home as much as possible and minimizing contact with those outside their household.
- Host your gathering outdoors, when possible. If this is not feasible, make sure the room or space is well-ventilated (for example, open a window).
- When guests arrive, minimize gestures that promote close contact.

Asymptomatic vs. Pre-symptomatic
There have been questions on the spread of COVID-19 by people who are not showing symptoms. These people fall into two groups:
> Asymptomatic spread = spreading the disease without ever developing or reporting symptoms
> Pre-symptomatic spread = spreading the disease before symptoms start
Because COVID-19 can be spread by people who are not experiencing symptoms, while it’s important to stay home when you are sick, everyone should also limit their exposure to others, maintain 6 feet of distance in public, and wear a cloth mask if distance cannot be maintained.

Maricopa County is Prepared
Maricopa County has a long history of conservative fiscal planning. In deciding how to spend CARES Act funding, leadership agreed that it would not be wise to immediately spend all CARES Act dollars. Instead, the Board chose to set aside $175 million for the unexpected. Having the money available will allow the County to respond more quickly to needs as they arise.
