Important reminders- it is likely that there are individuals in the community everyday that may not know they have Covid-19. Social distancing is important.

With that being said we are not trying to make everyone worry. If you are considered a close contact you should be contacted by the health department (given that your name was provided to us during contact tracing) and asked to quarantine.

If you are not contacted by the health department you should monitor for signs and symptoms for at least 14 days if you were at one of these events. If you develop symptoms quarantine from others and get tested for Covid or notify your health care provider.
