We know many of you are concerned about COVID-19. We want to share a tool with you where you can input your symptoms into the CDC's self-checker. After completing the questions, it will provide direction on whether medical care is necessary or not, based on the responses provided.
As a reminder, the CDC recommends staying home when you are sick, washing your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds, and sneezing or coughing into a tissue and disposing of it when finished.
The online tool can be accessed through this link by selecting "Coronavirus Self-Checker".
