UPDATE: Twenty-four (24) active COVID-19 positive cases within the Pueblo of Laguna.

The EOC contact tracers continue to see cases with individuals who been vaccinated being careless and not following COVID-19 Safe Practices. As a reminder, if you have been vaccinated you CAN still be a carrier of the COVID-19 virus and spread the virus to others who have not been vaccinated such as children. There is still no vaccine available to protect our children so that responsibility falls upon adults and those around them.

Getting the vaccine means that your symptoms will not be as severe if you become infected, but you still have a responsibility to protect those around you, even after completing the 2-dose vaccination series. In addition, CDC guidelines for quarantine and isolation have not changed even if you have been vaccinated and then become infected or exposed to the virus.

To keep you and your family safe, please remember the Executive Order Amendment No. 2 remains in effect until further notice, and utilize the tools we have to help slow the spread of the virus in our community:

• Continue COVID-19 testing, even after you’ve received a COVID-19 vaccine
• Stay home as much as possible and stay within your own household
• Avoid large crowds and gatherings
• Wear a face mask around those you don’t live with
• Stay 6 feet away from people if you must go out
• Wash your hands often

Stay safe!
