If you have any questions or concerns, please call your local health department branch office. (Isabella County Health Department (www.cmdhd.org): 2012 E. Preston Avenue, Mt. Pleasant, MI 48858 (989)-773-5921).
COVID-19 is very contagious. It can cause very serious illness in some people. Higher risk individuals include those who are older than 65 and those that have health problems like lung such as, asthma, heart problems, problems with their immune system, severe obesity, diabetes, kidney disease, or liver disease.
We ask that you help protect your family and your community from this disease by taking the following steps:
- Watch for symptoms of COVID-19 illness, which are fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, or diarrhea. (It is recommended that you get tested for COVID-19 if you do get symptoms. You can call 2-1-1 or go to www.michigan.gov/coronavirustest for testing locations.)
- If you think you were exposed to COVID-19, consider testing even if you don’t have symptoms. Wait at least 5 days after you were exposed. Getting tested sooner is likely to cause the test to be negative, even if you are infected.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before eating, after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. (If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.)
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Stay home if you are sick, or even if you think you are sick.
- Avoid gathering in groups, stay at least 2 arms’ length (about 6 feet) apart from others, and stay out of crowded areas.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or the inside of your elbow when you cough or sneeze.
- Clean and disinfect surfaces that are touched often, at least once a day.
- It is important to continue to do all of these things until COVID-19 is out of our communities for good
