• *Due to high case counts and delays in lab reporting, we do not have an accurate count of people who are on isolation or quarantine. People who test positive should self-isolate and notify their close contacts. Instructions can be found at www.ShastaReady.org under “Quarantine and Isolation Instructions.”
• **The state is still updating the system it uses to collect negative test results, so we don’t have access to current numbers today.
• Your COVID risk doesn’t stop when you leave work. Being cautious at work and casual at home undermines your efforts to keep your family, friends, coworkers, and customers from getting sick. Practice COVID prevention measures on and off the clock to protect yourself and your loved ones.
• Home for the holidays has a new meaning this year. There’s no perfectly safe way for people from multiple households to gather, family or not. But you can reduce the risk and still have safe and joyful celebrations, even though they look a little different. Hop on FaceTime with the grandparents, or do a virtual dinner party with friends. Go to www.ShastaReady.org for more ideas on redesigning your holiday celebrations. Let’s share memories, not germs, this holiday season.
