What you do today determines the FUTURE of our Community’s health. If diagnosed with COVID-19, for our Community’s benefit please self-quarantine. Isolation is necessary to slow the spread of this virus. The CDC recommends isolation be maintained for at least 10 days after illness onset AND at least 3 days (72 hours) after recovery. Illness onset is the date symptoms began and recovery is the resolution of fever with improvement of other symptoms.
