Reminders about illness precautions, especially since COVID is not going away

• If you have had a cough, fever, diarrhea, or vomiting please stay home.

• Please do not assume it’s “just a cold”. COVID, flu, and RSV symptoms can be mild in some, but you can still pass it to someone who may then have more severe symptoms.

• Current guidance for COVID: The CDC recommends that people who test positive for COVID-19 base their isolation period on their symptoms. Individuals can now end their isolation if they’ve been fever-free for 24 hours and other symptoms are improving. Preventative strategies like wearing a mask are recommended for five days after ending isolation.

• Please do not come to a dance even if you are still on over-the-counter meds (e.g. Tylenol, Aspirin, etc.) as these can mask COVID symptoms even if you are fever-free for 24 hours.

• Wash hands and/or use hand sanitizer often. They are provided on the tables.

  BE SMART and BE SAFE!
