COVID-19 Updates and Information


  • February 2024 CDC Guidance Update

COVID-19 remains an important public health threat, but it is no longer the emergency that it once was, and its health impacts increasingly resemble those of other respiratory viral illnesses, including influenza and RSV. CDC has issued updated Respiratory Virus Guidance that provides the public with recommendations and information about effective steps and strategies tailored to the current level of risk posed by COVID-19 and other common respiratory viral illnesses. The updated guidance emphasizes the importance of staying home and away from others when sick from respiratory viruses, regardless of the virus, as well as additional preventive actions.

To learn more about CDC’s updated guidance for how people can protect themselves and their communities from respiratory viruses, including COVID-19, see the following:

COVID Testing                       

You should get a test for COVID-19 if: 

  • You develop any symptoms of COVID-19, even if they are mild, or
  • On day 6 following an exposure to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19

You can consider testing before events or spending time with someone who is at high risk for severe COVID-19 (due to older age or medical conditions).

For detailed information, visit the CDC’s webpage Testing for COVID-19.                                                                                  

You can also call 2-1-1, a 24-hour state-supported telephone hotline.
