Operative words

On June 28, 2020, ACHD Director Dr. Debra Bogen strongly recommended that people who have traveled out of state quarantine for 14 days after returning. An alternative is to get tested and have two (2) negative test results with tests taken at least 48 hours apart before returning to work.... This is especially important for employees who interact with the public.
