Anyone who rode in a silver van with A/1 Taxi in Prescott between December 9 and December 15 may have been exposed to COVID-19.
We recommend that everyone, regardless of vaccination status, who rode in this A/1 taxi van on these days:
- Monitor for symptoms carefully, even mild ones
- If you have or develop symptoms:
- Everyone in your household (unless they are fully vaccinated) must also stay home until you get a negative COVID-19 test result, or you are cleared by public health, or you are diagnosed with another illness.
- Continue with public health precautions to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
- Stay home if you are sick
- Practice physical distancing – stay 2 meters (6 feet) away from people in public areas
- Wear a face covering: Minimum of 2 layers of material; 3 will provide further protection when you cannot stay 6 feet away from people out in public – and in indoor public spaces as required
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, or use hand sanitizer after being in touch with others or handling anything from outside your home
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
- Cover your cough and sneeze with a tissue or into your arm, not your hands
