Does having a Covid vaccine mean it's safe now?

#Sponsored: With the emergence of a COVID-19 vaccine, some are saying “it’s finally over.” But don’t let your guard down yet!

It will likely be spring or summer before most people get the vaccine, so now is not the time to be complacent and think things are back to normal. COVID-19 cases are still increasing, but our need to do things outside our homes has not changed, so how do we ensure that we can make smart decisions?

Enter Lysol? Germ-Cast?: an innovative, data-driven app that allows you to "track illness incidence levels in your area" – its goal is to help curb the spread of preventable illnesses “by creating an early detection and warning system," said Inder Singh, founder and CEO of Kinsa, the public health company that provides much of Lysol Germ-Cast’s data-powered information. "Now, more than ever, knowing what, where and how fast illness is spreading is vital to making data-driven decisions for our families, schools, communities and beyond. We're excited to partner with Lysol to provide these insights so we can all take preventive measures early to stop the spread.”

Note that Lysol? Germ-Cast? is a FREE app and it provides real-time, county-level flu and COVID-19 incidence levels. The app helps to empower consumers to stay informed about illness levels during flu season and amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It contains a three-week flu-forecast as well as illness prevention tips and product information from Lysol?.

Let’s all do our best to stay safe and ensure we have many more years to enjoy our friends and families after this pandemic has passed.
