COVID-19
Current Guidance: The CDC recently released new COVID-19 guidance through the use of a three-level risk system — low, medium and high. The CDC will recommend prevention measures, such as masks, when the community level is high and has the potential to overwhelm the healthcare system. When levels are low or medium, prevention measures such as staying home when sick, getting tested, and wearing a mask when positive or symptomatic are now in place.
