Using CDC Resources to Assess Your Next Business Moves During COVID-19

In the uncertain times of COVID-19, and its Delta, Mu, and Lambda variants, it is difficult to know who to trust for accurate case statistics in your area.  While you may not necessarily be in the medical field, COVID plays a monumental role in the decisions you make as a business owner. Are you accounting for the safety of your customers, and that of your staff? Is it appropriate to unveil a new marketing strategy, or should you be hunkering down?

Regardless of your situation, The CDC has a page where you can look up the most up to date information regarding the virus:

• number of COVID cases

• percentage of positivity

• number of deaths

• percentage of eligible population fully vaccinated

• number of new hospital admissions.  

• it will also give guidance on appropriate protocols for your area, such as wearing masks and social distancing.
