• IDPH Update
• VCHD Updated Graphic
• Testing Site Locations – UPDATED (Carle’s testing site information has been updated to include Carle’s exposure criteria which is less than 6ft, more than 15 minutes, and NO mask).  This mask criteria differs from IDPH and VCHD’s definition of direct exposure for the public and we still define close contact exposure as less than 6ft, more than 15 minutes, whether you are masked or unmasked and we recommend testing.
