If you get sick with influenza or COVID-19, you’ll need to isolate yourself from others around you.
Lyon County Public Health Emergency Preparedness Director Jennifer Millbern says the COVID isolation period is five days, as it has been for months.
The isolation period for flu is also five days from symptom onset. One symptom people should not rely on is fever.
Millbern encourages residents to get vaccinated against the flu and to get vaccinated and/or boosted against COVID-19. She says vaccine supplies are plentiful but vaccination levels have been low the past few months.
