This winter, don’t let COVID-19 freeze your holidays.

 

• Stay home if you’re sick.
• Get vaccinated and boosted for COVID-19, including the new bivalent booster if eligible. (Visit de.gov/boosters to learn more and de.gov/getmyvaccine to find a location near you.)
• Get tested for COVID-19:
  • 1-2 days before a large gathering
  • If you have symptoms of COVID-19
  • Five (5) days after being exposed to someone confirmed to have COVID-19.

If you have symptoms and get a negative test result, take another test 2 days later. There are also other viruses going around, including influenza and RSV, so even if your COVID-19 test result is negative, it could be something else. So if you are sick, stay home.

 

Other recommendations:

• Do not go to a hospital ER for a COVID test – there are many more options statewide – save hospital ERs for emergencies! (Visit de.gov/gettested.)
• Gather outdoors when possible.
• Wash your hands regularly.
