​If you are sic​k, how long should you stay home?

By now, everyone should know that if you are sick, stay home - this protects co-workers, customers and the community. However, new evidence suggests that those infected may be contagious longer than the seven days from when symptoms begin.  The CDC now ​recommends ending home isolation u​nder the following conditions

  • At least 3 days (72 hours) have passed since the resolution of fever without the use of fever-reducing medications; and 
  • Improvement of respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough, shortness of bre​ath); and, 
  • At least 10 days have passed since symptoms first appeared. 

To clean surfaces exposed to the virus EPA has a list of disinfectants for CO​VID-19. ​​​​
