Happy Friday everyone! 

Our nurses have been getting some questions about COVID-19, which has been going around again. Here is the latest COVID-19 guidance:

"If you are infected with COVID-19 you do not need to isolate for a set number of days. However, you should be aware that you can get others sick. If you have COVID-19:

• Stay home until you have not had a fever for 24 hrs without using fever reducing medication, have no cough or cough is well-controlled (not actively coughing) and other COVID-19 symptoms are improving.
• Avoid contact with high-risk individuals like people who live in congregate care facilities or people with immunocompromising conditions for 10 days.
• Mask when you are around other people in the 10 days after you become sick or test positive. (This is not mandatory, it is strongly encouraged as a courtesy to others)

If you have a severe case, are hospitalized or are severely immunocompromised please follow the recommendations above, avoid contact with high-risk people and mask for 10-20 days. Please contact your healthcare provider for advice on how long to isolate."
