Updated/New Guidance
- We are still waiting on the approval guidance from IDPH for the quarantine change. Here is the document from CDC with the changes. Please take caution with this information as to me it seems incomplete on the 7 days with testing as there is no mention that the testing needs to be within 48 hours of release. I do not want people thinking they can get tested the day after their exposure and then be released after 7 FULL days of quarantine. I will keep you posted when IDPH comes out with their guidance. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if-you-are-sick/quarantine.html (updated 12/2)
Updates of Flu
We still have flu shots left. While we have completed our flu clinics, people can still do walk-ins. If you are uncomfortable with coming in, you can request an appointment and we can do a drive thru. You can call 431-2662 ext. 249 for more information.
