COVID-19 Community Levels is a tool to help communities decide what prevention steps to take based on the latest data.
According to the CDC’s COVID-19 Community Levels, there are no longer any low-level counties in our synod.
High level counties are Gila, Greenlee, La Paz, Mohave, Navajo, Santa Cruz, and Yuma.
Medium level counties include Apache, Clark, Cochise, Coconino, Graham, Maricopa, Nye, Pima, Pinal, Washington, Yavapai, and Yuma.
At all levels including the low level, prevention steps include:
At the medium level, if you are at high risk for severe illness, talk to your healthcare provider about whether you need to wear a mask and take other precautions.
At the high level, wear a mask indoors in public. Additional precautions may be needed for people at high risk for severe illness.
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.
