**The number of Mohave County confirmed cases has risen dramatically.

Always wash your hands when returning to your office or home. Things seem more normal now, but, we’re not there yet.   Please be alert and be safe.**

The Mohave County Department of Public Health makes contact with all confirmed cases and encourages self-isolation for ten days to two weeks, depending on their symptoms and unique work and living situation.  Public Health staff then identify the people who have been exposed to the confirmed case (contact tracing) and encourage them to self-isolate until they are past the point of possibly developing the infection.  Public Health monitors each confirmed case, and all of their contacts are during their quarantines.
