CDC recommendations for minimizing the risk of COVID-19:
- Wear a mask any time you are within six feet of someone who doesn't live in your household.
- Be sure to wear a mask properly, making sure it fits the face and covers both the nose and mouth at all times.
- Practice social distancing, staying at least six feet away from others.
- Wash your hands regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer.
- Wash your hands before and after handling your mask.
- Avoid crowds and poorly ventilated spaces where social distancing is not possible including restaurants, movie theaters, sporting events, and other places where masks may not be worn or social distancing may not be observed.
- Cough and sneeze inside the mask or into an elbow, keeping the mouth covered at all times.
- Clean and disinfect surfaces regularly.
- Self-quarantine if you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.
- Monitor for a fever or other symptoms if you begin experiencing symptoms and get tested as needed.

There have been 33,079,543 cases of COVID-19 in the United States. There have been 591,265 deaths resulting from these cases. A total of 135,087,319 individuals in the United States are now fully vaccinated. This is 40.7% of the total population. Approximately 62.6% of the U.S. population has received at least one dose of the vaccine. This information is current as of 5/31/21.
CDC Guidelines For Vaccinated Individuals:
- Resume normal activities without the need to wear a mask or socially distance except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance.
- If you travel in the U.S., you do not need to get tested before or after travel or self-quarantine after travel.
- For international travel, you don't need to be tested before departure unless it is required by your destination. You still need to show a negative COVID test to board a flight to return to the United States. You will need to get tested 3-5 days after international travel. You do not need to self-quarantine upon your return.
- If you have been around someone with COVID, you do not need to self-quarantine unless you have symptoms. However, if you live or work in a correctional or detention facility or a homeless shelter and are around someone who has COVID-19, you should still get tested, even if you don’t have symptoms.
