COVID-19 Green Disposition

• If you develop a fever, cough, trouble breathing, or other symptoms, answer the symptom checker questions again or call your doctor or a local health clinic. You may need care or testing.

To protect yourself and others:

• Stay up to date on your COVID-19 vaccines.
• Wash your hands often, especially after you cough or sneeze. Use soap and water, and scrub for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water aren't available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Avoid touching your mouth, nose, and eyes.
• Avoid crowds, especially indoors.
• Improve airflow. If you have to spend time indoors with others, open windows and doors. Or you can use a fan to blow air away from people and out a window. Choose outdoor visits and activities when possible.

Your risk for getting or spreading COVID-19 depends on the level of community risk, such as the number of positive cases and/or hospitalizations in the area where you live. If you live in an area where COVID-19 is spreading quickly, wear a well-fitting mask in indoor public areas. You may also want to wear a mask if you:

• Have a high-risk health problem or are at risk for getting very sick if you get COVID-19.
• Live with someone who has a weakened immune system or is at risk for getting very sick if they got COVID-19.
• Live with someone who is not fully vaccinated.

Some people are at a higher risk for getting very sick or dying from COVID-19 because of where they live or work. People who don't have access to health care are also at a higher risk. This also includes people from racial and ethnic minority groups, as well as people with disabilities.

If you live in group housing, such as a community shelter, be sure to follow instructions from the group housing staff. They can tell you how to stay safer in the shelter and how to keep others safe.

Be sure to follow all instructions from the CDC and your local health authorities.
