HEALTH
INFORMATION
COVID Info
-
It has been shown that receiving COVID vaccines is the most effective way to prevent disease, transmission, hospitalization and death.
-
For those that are able to receive vaccine and have not, please know that you are placing our little ones, who can’t receive vaccine and our elders, who are at greater risk, in jeopardy of infection.
-
-
If anyone experiences cold, flu-like symptoms or excessive allergy-like symptoms anytime during 2 weeks prior the trip, please get tested as soon as possible.
-
Please do not attempt attending if you test positive or have symptoms.
-
Once diagnosed there is a 5 day period of isolation (date of first symptom is day zero) and a 5 day period of wearing a well fitted mask wherever you go, day 6 to day 10 (you may leave isolation on day 6, if fever is gone and most symptoms resolved).
-
-
If you are exposed to someone with COVID prior to the trip, you must watch for symptoms for 10 days following your last contact with the person
-
This is a quarantine period and wear a well fitted mask at all times during the 10 days. You should also get tested 5 days after your last exposure
-
It is best to avoid travel until a full 10 days have passed.
-
-
Other prevention strategies:
-
Practice strict hand hygiene- frequent handwashing and use of hand sanitizer when you are unable to wash hands.
-
Consider wearing your mask during inside gatherings.
-
Be extra careful 2 weeks prior to the trip to avoid potential exposure.
-
If you have at home test kits, consider bringing them.
-
Please take all of this information seriously. We anticipate a great Family Reunion, as we strive for each one to remain infection free at the close of our gathering. Please feel free to call with any question or log into CDC.gov/COVID.
Respectfully with Love,
The Commitee
