The CDC also cautions anyone who tested positive for COVID-19 should not travel until they end isolation. Public health officials are encouraging people to get vaccinated against the coronavirus to protect young children and others who are not eligible or have not received a vaccine.

Anyone who may be sick or has symptoms should stay home and away from others, the CDC says. They should also get tested for the virus as should anyone who may have been in close contact with a person who has COVID-19, the agency says.
