Summit County Public Health reported that a Summit County resident has been quarantined after returning from travel with her family last week to Italy.

Due to a family member outside the United States becoming ill, following a consultation with the Ohio Department of Health regarding the individual’s situation, quarantine was recommended. The resident is not considered a Person Under Investigation under the current CDC guidelines.

A PUI must be symptomatic and have been in contact with someone with a laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection within 14 days of symptom onset and/or travel to an affected area within 14 days of symptom onset. Currently, there are no COVID-19 cases in Ohio.

County residents are advised to take precautions to prevent the spread of disease by:

–Getting a flu shot.

–Washing hands with soap and water.

–Not touching mouth, eyes or face with unwashed hands.

–Staying away from sick people.

–Coughing/sneezing into sleeve or tissue.

–Getting plenty of sleep.
