MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Vermonters who attended multi-household Thanksgiving gatherings against the governor’s order are urged to quarantine and get tested for COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus.
“It’s best to get tested right away and again on day seven or later,” Health Commissioner Dr. Mark Levine said Tuesday during the governor’s virus briefing.
The state is investigating a situation related to a Thanksgiving dinner party that was celebrated early, he said. “I can only hope this single event will not be a sign of more to come,” he said.
Levine also reminded Vermonters that Gov. Phil Scott’s order banning on multi-household gatherings is still in effect.
“If we can keep doing our part to prevent further spread of COVID-19 we can weather the current surge in cases,” he said.
