A negative COVID-19 test is NOT your pass to risk-free traveling or socializing. People who test negative can still be carriers of the virus during the 14 day incubation period. Testing is important for tracking how COVID moves throughout our community, but it is not a perfect measure. The most important ways to stay COVID-free are to keep your distance (the further the better), wear your mask correctly, getting vaccinated and avoiding gatherings. #WearAMask

COVID Parties Harder Than You! Not feeling sick or testing negative doesn’t always mean you aren’t infected. Watch out for this notorious party crasher. This virus LOVES to party and infect any person it meets. It does not care about how healthy you think you are, how much you care about or trust someone, or what day it is. Party virtually: https://conta.cc/39z4I1r ; https://conta.cc/3fvCjva ; https://conta.cc/3oUrWG0 .

Not feeling sick or testing negative doesn’t always mean you aren’t infected. After exposure, COVID-19 can incubate in the body for up to 14 days. If you’ve been exposed, quarantine for a total of 10 days. Closely monitor for any symptoms the 4 days after that. Doing this will keep you from accidentally infecting other people, especially the ones you love: https://conta.cc/3fvCjva ; https://conta.cc/3oUrWG0 .
