President Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan includes a third round of $1,400 stimulus payments, topping off the $600 checks that were already approved by Congress in December 2020, and adding up to $2,000.

Authorized by the newly enacted COVID-relief legislation, the second round of payments, or “EIP 2,” is generally $600 for singles and $1,200 for married couples filing a joint return. In addition, those with qualifying children will also receive $600 for each qualifying child.

The most recent CDC guidance states that someone who has had COVID-19 can discontinue isolation once they have met the following criteria:

1. It has been more than 10 days since your symptoms began.
2. You have been fever-free for more than 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications.
3. Other symptoms have improved.

Anyone who tested positive for COVID-19 but never experienced symptoms may discontinue isolation 10 days after they first tested positive for COVID-19.

Even after discontinuing isolation, you should still take all precautions when you go out in public, including wearing a mask, minimizing touching surfaces, and keeping at least six feet of distance away from other people.

You can be around others after:10 days since symptoms first appeared and24 hours with no fever without the use of fever-reducing medications andOther symptoms of COVID-19 are improving

Research suggests that up to half of people hospitalized with COVID-19 get an acute kidney injury. That’s a sudden case of kidney damage, and in some severe cases, kidney failure, that happens within hours or days. It causes waste to build up in your blood and can be deadly.

Gloves are not recommended unless they need to be used while performing normal job tasks such as handling chemicals. Wash hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

N95 and KN95 respirators can provide protection from wildfire smoke and from getting and spreading COVID-19. CDC does not recommend the use of N95 respirators in non-healthcare settings because N95 respirators should be reserved for health care workers.

A surgical N95 (also referred as a medical respirator) is recommended only for use by healthcare personnel (HCP) who need protection from both airborne and fluid hazards (e.g., splashes, sprays). These respirators are not used or needed outside of healthcare settings.

As all Americans struggle to adapt to the reality of daily life during the coronavirus pandemic, it is important to know that there is no evidence people can be exposed through food.The spread pattern for coronavirus is quite different from those of foodborne pathogens like salmonella and E. coli.
