Currently it is recommended that businesses, schools, child care centers, assisted living facilities, senior living facilities, adult day programs, workplaces, community and faith-based organizations, and health care providers operate under CDC’s minimal to moderate risk for implementing mitigation strategies for communities with local COVID-19 transmission.
