CDC Updates Respiratory Virus Recommendations
The recommendations suggest returning to normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, symptoms are improving overall, and if a fever was present, it has been gone without use of a fever-reducing medication.
Once people resume normal activities, they are encouraged to take additional prevention strategies for the next 5 days to curb disease spread, such as taking more steps for cleaner air, enhancing hygiene practices, wearing a well-fitting mask, keeping a distance from others, and/or getting tested for respiratory viruses. Enhanced precautions are especially important to protect those most at risk for severe illness, including those over 65 and people with weakened immune systems. CDC’s updated guidance reflects how the circumstancesaround COVID-19 in particular have changed. While it remains a threat, today it is far less likely to cause severe illness because of widespread immunity and improved tools to prevent and treat the disease. Importantly, states and countries that have already adjusted recommended isolation times have not seen increased hospitalizations or deaths related to COVID-19.

A Message From the Chief Operations Officer Detrick Stanford |
|
|
|
How important is trust for a leader? It is the most important thing. Trust is the foundation of leadership. How does a leader build trust? By consistently exemplifying character. A person’s character quickly communicates many things to others. Here are the most important ones:
-
Character communicates consistency. Leaders without inner strength can’t be counted on day after day because their ability to perform changes constantly.
-
Character communicates potential. Poor character is like a time bomb ticking away. It’s only a matter of time before it blows up a person’s ability to perform and the capacity to lead.
-
Character communicates respect. How do leaders earn respect? By making sound decisions, by admitting their mistakes, and by putting what’s best for their followers and the organization ahead of their personal agendas.
--The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership
… John C. Maxwell
Have a fantastic week.
