Basic recommendations:

1. The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones is by receiving all the recommended COVID-19 vaccines and boosters.
2. Regardless of the lifting of COVID’s protection requirements, wear a high-quality mask (N-95 or KN95) if you are in public indoor areas, known to have high COVID transmission.
3. Use free home rapid tests (Antigen tests) or find a location for low cost or free COVID-19 molecular PCR/NAAT tests. Click here for details about the COVID-19 tests.
