Health advice: if you travel for Thanksgiving gatherings, quarantine too

The advice from the health experts is not to have big family gatherings this Thanksgiving. Leslie Dougherty at the LaSalle County Health Department says the coronavirus doesn’t care about it being a holiday. A person to infect is a person to infect, relative or not, whether you’ve traveled or not.

Dougherty says a negative coronavirus test doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t have the virus and can’t spread it. She says the virus could be in numbers too small to detect when you get a test and still brew itself into a big batch a few days later.
