COVID-19 Information
Updated April 3, 2024
The CDC has updated their guidance for COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases. CDC and the Pennsylvania Department of Health suggest that individuals do the following when they have a respiratory virus:
- Stay home, and away from others, until symptoms are improving overall AND they are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of a fever-reducing medication
- Take precautions to prevent spread for the next five days after returning to normal activities (whatever possible in your setting, example: masking, distancing, air filtration, hygiene)
