COVID-19 Guidance

The Montgomery County Office of Public Health (MCOPH) aligns with CDC guidelines for COVID-19 prevention and recommends that health officials and individuals should consider current information about COVID-19 hospitalizations, the strain on the local health system and COVID-19 cases in the community when making decisions about individual/household and community level prevention behaviors and strategies. and individuals should also make decisions based on whether they are at high risk for severe disease and take into account inequities in access to prevention strategies.

COVID-19 Community Levels do not apply to healthcare settings, such as nursing homes and hospitals. Healthcare settings should continue to use community transmission rates and continue to follow CDC’s infection prevention and control recommendations for healthcare settings.
