Health Services Update

As we are heading into the school year, take time to focus on staying healthy. As our bodies undergo psychological stress, it is not uncommon to be more susceptible to getting sick. Even though our bodies are stressed, there are simple things you can do to stay healthy. Going for a daily walk, getting rest, eating a variety of fruits and vegetables with your meals, and drinking plenty of water are easy ways to improve your health.

COVID-19 Updates

• • New COVID-19 cases, week of 9/4/22-9/10/22:  30
  • Use our COVID-19 reporting form to report symptoms, positive tests, exposures, or vaccination/booster updates.
  • When to test: If you feel ill with COVID like symptoms, take a COVID test (day 1- 24 hours post onset of symptoms). If the test is negative, repeat the test 48 hours later (day 3).  If you test negative and are still concerned you may have COVID-19, you may choose to test again 48 hours after the second test (day 5).
  • Exposed to COVID-19: Start wearing a mask right away and test five full days (day 5) after the last time you were in close contact with a person with COVID-19.  Your last day of contact is day zero.  If your test is negative on day 5, repeat another test 24 to 48 hours later (on day 6 or 7) and continue to wear a mask for 10 full days.
