The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recently declared the coronavirus an epidemic, which is the term used for a more milder pandemic. But since the virus is still very dangerous, the CDC has installed a new feature in its website called Check Your County.

​

Check Your County checks your county for a COVID-19 status. Green/Low means people who are fully vaccinated have the option to take of your mask. Yellow/Medium means if you are at high risk for severe illness, you need to talk to your doctor regarding the subject of wearing a mask. Orange/High means you must wear a mask.
