Isolation Guidance for COVID-19, Flu, and RSV

Respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19, influenza (flu), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can spread easily, especially when people are symptomatic. Following isolation guidance helps protect your family, coworkers, and the broader Pender County community.

If You Get Sick:

If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, the flu, or RSV:

• Stay home and away from others.
  Avoid work, school, and public spaces to reduce the risk of spreading illness.

• Return to your normal routine when symptoms improve.
  You may resume normal activities once your symptoms are improving and you have been fever-free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication.

• Wear a mask for the next 5 days.
  Wearing a well-fitting mask after returning to activities helps limit the spread of illness to others, especially those who may be at higher risk.

Stay Informed and Prepared

Testing, vaccines, and additional guidance are available to help you stay healthy and protect those around you.
