Check Your Community Level for Covid-19
The new risk-based guidelines set out three Community Levels of risk for Covid-19 (Low, Medium, & High), along with recommended behaviors for each level.
Regardless of vaccination status or level, individuals need to continue to follow the additional requirements of local businesses, venues, and schools.
Get recommendations for people who are up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines as well as for people who are at high risk.
At all levels, wearing a well-fitting mask, and practicing social distancing are supported by Austin Public Health, as additional layers of protection to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
