盐湖County 卫生官员和犹他大学教授呼吁 戴口罩！ 不管你是否打了疫苗！最新防疫信息

疫情高发，又掀起了另一个高峰！ 犹他大学医院因为员工感染病毒人数太多，不得不暂缓一些手术。

疫情当前，有效防护自己和家人最有效的方式是戴上口罩！ 最高保护等级的口罩是N95，KN95 ，其次是医疗三层口罩，不口罩防护效果有限，但也比不戴口罩好很多！

下面是盐湖County 的最新指导：

• Wear a well-fitting mask indoors in public, regardless of vaccination status. Higher-quality masks including KN95s may offer additional protection, the advisory notes.

• Stay home if you have any COVID-19 symptoms, regardless of vaccination status or past infection, and get tested. Find where to get tested at coronavirus.utah.gov/utah-covid-19-testing-locations.

• Follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance if you test positive for COVID-19. That means isolating at home for at least five days after being tested, staying home longer if symptoms have not subsided, and wearing a mask around others for at least another five days after isolation ends.

• Get vaccinated, and get boosted if eligible. Find where to get vaccinated at coronavirus.utah.gov/vaccine-distribution.

• Avoid all large gatherings if attendees are not vaccinated or boosted
