Vermont Business Magazine The Vermont Department of Health today reported that since Friday there have been 459 cases of COVID 19 for a total of 9,078 and one death for a total of 156. Vermont is the only state with under 23,000 cases and fewer than 200 deaths. While Vermont is still in the early stages of the vaccine rollout, the VDH said we must keep up our prevention practices, including physical distancing, mask-wearing, handwashing and staying home when we’re sick. This is still the best protection from getting and spreading COVID-19.

If you gathered with others, get tested

If you gathered with anyone you don’t live with or had a potential exposure to someone with COVID-19, we recommend getting tested. This is how you can help keep the virus from spreading.

Vermonters without COVID symptoms can now get tested at more than 15 regular locations throughout the state, and more of them are now open daily. Many sites now allow you to take a sample yourself, using a short swab in your nose. It’s quick, easy and free.

If you have symptoms of COVID-19, please contact your health care provider so they can refer you for testing. If you don’t have a provider, you can call 2-1-1.
