With Washtenaw County now at a medium risk level, community members should take steps to protect themselves and loved ones from the virus that causes COVID-19.

The Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention recommends masking indoors for anyone who is immunocompromised or at higher risk, or those regularly around those sensitive to the illness.

Symptoms include chills, headaches, coughs, nausea, fatigue, sore throat, runny nose, and a loss of taste of smell or taste.
