All Gallatin County cases consist of community transmission, close contact, and travel related history. Now, more than ever, we are urging people to practice social distancing. That means:
- Limiting contact with groups of people, whether you’re sick or not, and maintaining social distancing when in public as much as possible.
- Staying home whenever possible, except for your essential needs.
- Self-isolating when you are sick, even with mild symptoms.
- Frequently washing your hands with soap and water, and regularly cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces.
- Work from home if possible.
- Self-quarantine for 14 days if you’ve recently returned home from international travel. The Gallatin City-County Health Department Call Center is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to answer questions about COVID-19.
