The CDC 's guidance around COVID hasnât changed much: If you test positive, isolate from everyone for 5 days and then, depending on whether symptoms are improving or if you still have a fever, you may need to continue to isolate.

Experts are still working to understand the long-term effects of COVID-19.

The most important thing you can do to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your community is to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

Every ounce of prevention helps create a community of immunity.
