After spending weeks in the severe risk level, the West Central District Health Department's COVID-19 risk dial has moved into the elevated level.
WCDHD says the risk dial moved from a 3.62 down to a 3.46, which is in the elevated risk level.
The COVID-19 Risk Dial contains recommended guidance to help prevent and control the spread of COVID-19.
While in the Elevated Risk category, physical distance of 6 feet or greater, wearing face coverings when outside the home, frequent handwashing (or use of hand sanitizer), staying home if you are having flu-like or COVID-like symptoms, disinfecting high touch surfaces, and having at-risk and vulnerable people remain home are recommended as the greatest tools in reducing the spread of COVID-19. For more information on recommendations for the various risk categories of the WCDHD Community Risk Dial, please visit the COVID-19 Risk Dial page on our website.
