How to Wear Masks

CDC recommends that unvaccinated people age 2 and older wear masks in public. For people who are unvaccinated, masks should be worn in addition to staying at least 6 feet apart, especially if indoors around people who don’t live with you. Masks are required on planes, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation traveling into, within, or out of the United States and in U.S. transportation hubs such as airports and stations. Travelers are not required to wear a mask in outdoor areas of a conveyance, such as on a ferry or the top deck of a bus.

Cost of Testing

You can get tested for COVID-19 at no cost. Tests run by public health labs are 100% covered, regardless of whether you have insurance. Uninsured patients may still be charged fees for associated care, so be sure to ask your local health department about getting tested at a public lab where all costs will be covered, including associated care. Even if you’re fully vaccinated, get tested if you have symptoms of COVID-19. If you’re unvaccinated, get tested if you have symptoms, if you’ve been around someone with COVID-19, or have taken part in mass gathering, travel or other activities that make physical distancing difficult.

Post-COVID Conditions

Although most people with COVID-19 get better within weeks of illness, some people experience post-COVID conditions. Post-COVID conditions are a wide range of new, returning, or ongoing health problems people can experience more than four weeks after first being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. One type of post-COVID condition is Long COVID. Long COVID is a range of symptoms that can last weeks or months after first being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 or can appear weeks after infection. Long COVID can happen to anyone who has had COVID-19, even if the illness was mild, or they had no symptoms. People with long COVID report experiencing different combinations of symptoms, such as fatigue, headache and chest pain.

We all have a part in helping to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensuring everyone can be as healthy as possible.
