Washtenaw County is at a "medium" COVID-19 community level. CDC guidance at this level doesn't include broad masking recommendations. At all levels, people can wear a mask based on preference or risk. People with symptoms, a positive test, or exposure to someone with COVID-19 should wear a mask.
Please continue to use available, effective strategies to prevent and reduce the spread of illness in our community, including:
Get vaccinated and stay up-to-date on your COVID-19 vaccines - get your updated booster when eligible! (https://vaccinefinder.org).
Seek testing if feeling ill or if you have been exposed. Stay away from others if you are feeling ill or recently exposed, waiting for test results, or have tested positive (www.washtenaw.org/covid19whattodo). If you test positive, talk to your doctor right away about treatment options to prevent severe illness.
Avoid contact with people who have suspected or confirmed COVID-19. If you’re exposed to someone with COVID, wear a mask around others, monitor symptoms, and test 5 days after exposure (www.washtenaw.org/covid19whattodo).
Maintain improved ventilation throughout indoor spaces when possible.
If you are immunocompromised or at high risk for severe disease, wear a well-fitting mask or respirator when indoors in public. Talk with your healthcare provider about whether you should take additional preventative actions.
If you have household or social contact with someone at high risk, consider testing to detect infection before contact and consider wearing a mask when indoors with them.
