What you need to know about COVID-19
Adults age 65 and older, and people with underlying conditions, are at greater risk of becoming severely ill, and should take extra precautions.
Get Tested
Getting tested is important. Learn who should get tested. COVID-19 mobile testing sites are operating in counties across the state. You can also get tested at one of more than 220 permanent COVID-19 testing facilities across the state.
Practice social distancing
When around others, keep 6 feet between you when possible. Avoid crowds and large gatherings. If you’re sick, stay at home.
Wear a face mask
Wearing a face mask decreases the risk of spreading COVID-19. Wear a cloth face covering that covers your mouth and nose when around others and in public settings like a grocery store or parking lot.
