For people with COVID-19 and influenza, treatment is available and may help  lessen symptoms and lower the risk of severe illness. It is recommended you can return to normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, symptoms are improving and if a fever was present, it has been gone without use of a fever-reducing medication.

Once resuming to normal activities, it is encouraged to take additional prevention strategies for the next five (5) days to curb disease spread, such as taking more steps for cleaner air, enhancing hygiene practices, wearing a well-fitting mask, keeping a distance from others, and/or getting tested for respiratory viruses.
