Tips to Stay Healthy when COVID-19 Cases Rise

The reality of living in a post-COVID-19 world is that there will be rises and falls in case numbers depending on season and time of year. When case numbers increase, many hospitals, schools, and businesses may re-implement COVID-19 restrictions. This may include quarantines, mask mandates, and vaccination requirements.

If you notice your community being impacted by this increase, we suggest you communicate with your hospital leadership for the most accurate information regarding COVID-19 policies at your facility. 

 

Tips to Stay Healthy

The rise in cases may also bring up all kinds of memories, experiences, and feelings from the past few years and this is normal.

Remember, there are many ways to protect yourself and others from COVID-19 if an increase in cases is especially concerning for you or loved ones: 

  • Limit exposure to large crowds
  • Wear a mask in public or when around others
  • Wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water
  • Stay home and away from others if you are exhibiting symptoms. An updated symptom list can be found hereLinks to an external site..

For Children

Look out for updated information regarding illness at your children’s school or daycare. Restrictions that we saw previously included mask mandates and quarantines. Check with your child’s school for policies or procedures. Please plan ahead for childcare if your child is exposed or tests positive.
