Message from CDPHE:
We continue to ask all individuals with mild
flu-like illness to stay home. This is
regardless of travel history. Children and
adolescents with fever should not go to day care
or school. Adults with fever should not go to
work until their symptoms resolve. Individuals
with severe illness, such as difficulty
breathing, should contact their health care
provider.
The department advises those who experience
influenza symptoms need to stay home for seven
days after onset of symptoms, or at least 24
hours after the symptoms have resolved,
whichever is longer.
The state health department also encourages
people to take these personal precautions to
decrease their chances of getting the flu:
Wash hands frequently
Cover your sneezes and
coughs
Avoid others with
respiratory illnesses
Again, this is a rapidly
evolving situation and the state health
department is asking people to be alert for
changes in our guidance, available from this
page.
