On March 1, 2024, the Centers for Disease control updated and simplified the guidelines for those who are ill with Respiratory Illnesses such as COVID-19, Influenza "the flu" and RSV. Please click here to read the current guidelines.

Do your part to help reduce the spread of respiratory illnesses by staying home if you are sick. You can go back to your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both:
       • Your symptoms are getting better, and       
       • You haven’t had a fever.

When you go back to your normal activities, take added precaution over the next 5 days, such as taking additional steps for cleaner air and/or hygiene, masks, physical distancing, and/or testing when you will be around other people indoors.
