Greene County Remains at Low Community Level for COVID-19
Greene County Remains at Low Level in the CDC Community COVID-19 Levels Framework
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that Greene County remains at a Low Level in its COVID-19 Community Level Framework.
Per the CDC, the weekly metrics used to determine the community level were listed as follows:
- Case Rate per 100,000 population: 158.64
- New COVID-19 admissions per 100,000 population: 8.2%
- Staffed inpatient beds in use by patients with confirmed COVID-19: 2.1%
The COVID-19 Community Levels framework is a tool to help communities decide what prevention steps to take based on the latest data. Levels can be low, medium, or high and are determined by looking at hospital beds being used, hospital admissions, and the total number of new COVID-19 cases in an area. Take precautions to protect yourself and others from COVID-19 based on the COVID-19 Community Level in your area.
When a county is designated at a low level in the CDC’s framework, the following actions are recommended:
- Stay up to date on vaccination, including recommended booster doses.
- Maintain ventilation improvements.
- Avoid contact with people who have suspected or confirmed COVID-19.
- Follow recommendations for isolation if you have suspected or confirmed COVID-19.
- Follow the recommendations for what to do if you are exposed to someone with COVID-19.
- If you are at high risk of getting very sick, talk with a healthcare provider about additional prevention actions.
- If you are immunocompromised or at high risk for severe disease, learn more about how to protect yourself with additional CDC recommendations for each COVID-19 Community Level.
Greene County Public Health, along with our State and Federal partners, will continue to monitor the status of the COVID-19 pandemic and make revised recommendations should conditions warrant.
