Exposure to blowing dust can aggravate severity of COVID-19 symptoms, and infection with COVID-19 can increase health impacts from blowing dust exposure. The risk of COVID-19 transmission remains high, and people who are vulnerable should remain at home whenever possible, especially when blowing dust is present.
