The November 19, 2020 VT Department of Health report says Vermont is seeing a surge in cases of COVID-19. Here’s what you need to know now to help stop the spread:

• Do not get together or socialize with anyone you don’t live with. There is an exception for those who live alone — they may gather with members of their immediate family.
• Avoid traveling when possible, even within Vermont. Anyone who does travel to or from Vermont must quarantine. The only exception is for essential travel.
• Wear a mask
• If you’re sick, stay home.
• Get tested if you have any symptoms, are a close contact of a case, or have been at a social gathering or other risky situation.
• Get your flu shot! Stay as healthy as you can!
