According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the COVID-19 virus is thought to spread mainly between people who are in close contact with one another through respiratory droplets. As we’ve learned more about COVID-19 transmission we now know that one’s risk increases if 15 minutes or more is spent within six feet, unmasked and three feet, masked, of someone that has COVID-19. Brief interactions are less likely to, but still can, result in transmission.
If your child experiences symptoms of respiratory illness (fever, coughing, or shortness of Breath, loss of smell or taste, respiratory issues, headache, or other illness), please contact your medical provider and the Butler County General Health District (513) 863-1770 or after hours at (877) 774-4636.
