The Claremont Board of Directors and the Emergency Preparedness Network has been reaching out to ALL residents as every day brings new developments related to the virus. Please take note of the latest updated information captured in YELLOW below.

Monthly Message - October 9 - Claremont has NO reported COVID-19 Cases.

Fundamentally there are four reasons to SELF-QUARANTINE: You or a family member have 1) been diagnosed as having the coronavirus; 2) coronavirus symptoms; 3) been exposed to someone with the coronavirus; or 4) pre-existing medical conditions that put you at a higher risk of recovery. Returning from extended travel doesn't warrant self-quarantine.

WHAT TO EXPECT IF YOU ARE CONTACTED BY A CONTACT TRACER: If you've been in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19, you may be contacted by a contact tracer or public health worker from your state or local health department in an effort to help slow the spread of the disease. Here's what to know if you get a call:

• A contact tracer may call to let you know you may have been exposed to someone with COVID-19. All information you share with a contact tracer, like who you've been in contact with and your recent whereabouts, is confidential.
• You may be asked to self-quarantine for 14 days. This means staying home, monitoring your health, and maintaining social distance from others at all times.
• You may be asked to monitor your health and watch for symptoms of COVID-19. Notify your doctor if you develop symptoms, and seek medical care if your symptoms worsen or become severe.

Many Local Grocery Stores offer Senior "Hour" shopping. Many Stores will NOT let you use your own bags; looks we'll be buying bags for a few weeks. Safety advice if you must visit the grocery store-WSJ
