WEAR A MASK TO PROTECT THOSE AROUND YOU
|
|
- COVID-19 spreads very easily between people, and even those without symptoms may be able to spread the virus. The more closely a person interacts with others and the longer that interaction, the higher the risk of COVID-19 spread. The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. Take the following steps to slow the spread of COVID-19:
- Maintain good social distance (about 6 feet).
- Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
- Routinely clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face covering when around others.
- Learn more about what you can do to protect yourself and others.
- CDC Update for Veterinary Clinics: Recommendations for ending home isolation and PPE guidelines were revised in the CDC's Interim Infection Prevention and Control Guidance for Veterinary Clinics Treating Companion Animals During the COVID-19 Response.
- REMINDER: Call your healthcare provider before going into a clinic if you are experiencing mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19. This allows them to provide guidance, prepare ahead if you need to be seen, and minimize risk to others.

Quarantine Q&A
Q: Can I end my quarantine if I have a negative COVID-19 test?
A: No. It may take up to 14 days for the illness to surface. Also, if a test is taken immediately after exposure, it will most often show up negative.
Q: What is the difference between isolation and quarantine?
A: Isolation and quarantine help protect the public by preventing exposure to people who have or may have a contagious disease.
- Isolation separates people that have tested positive for COVID-19 from people who are not sick.
- Quarantine separates and restricts the movement of people who were exposed to COVID-19 to see if they become sick.
Q: How long will I need to stay in quarantine if I was in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19?
A: Since it may take up to 14 days for you to have symptoms after infection, you will need to self-quarantine and self-monitor for 14 days from:
- When you last had contact with the sick member of your household, OR
- When the last sick member of your household recovered (the day they no longer had fever and had improvements in other symptoms).
Q: What if someone else in my household gets sick?
A: If someone who lives in your household gets sick and are unable to separate from others, all well members of your household need to extend their self-quarantine and self-monitoring for 14 days from the date the last person recovered from their illness.
Q: What if I get sick during quarantine?
A: Call your doctor if you need medical care, and isolate yourself from other well members of the house, if possible. More can be found at:

How to Protect Yourself from COVID-19
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before eating and after going to the bathroom, blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
- If you do not have soap and water, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. Cough or sneeze into an elbow if no tissue is available. Wash your hands.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household disinfectant cleaning spray or wipe.
- Wear a cloth face covering in public settings.
