Today's COVID-19 updates include:
Take these steps to protect yourself and others:
- Stay up to date on your COVID-19 Vaccine. Recommended for ages 6 months and older, the vaccine will protect you against serious illness. Even if you were vaccinated in the past, you may still need the updated 2024 - 2025 COVID-19 vaccine. This latest vaccine provides protection from the newer variants circulating in our communities right now.
- Stay at home when you are sick. Take care of yourself and those around you by staying home (away from others) if you have symptoms like a cough, sore throat, sneezing, or fever.
- Take a COVID-19 test when needed. It is important to get tested if you have symptoms or were in close contact with someone who has COVID-19. If you test positive and are at higher risk, medications are available. The medications are most effective within 5 days of when symptoms begin, which is why you should get tested.
- Be mindful every day. Frequently wash your hands and cover coughs to keep germs from spreading.
