Banding Together: What the Sub-Groups in the Color Scheme Mean

  • Red 1 is for people who currently have COVID-19, or are in close contact with those who do, so everyone else should probably stay away.
  • Red 2 is for people who have symptoms that may be COVID-19, but they haven't gotten test results confirming this just yet. Stay away just in case. Those who are in close contact with such persons are included in this group as well.
  • Red 3 is for people who have underlying health conditions that make COVID-19 especially dangerous. Stay away or be extra careful about social distancing with them, for their sake.
  • Yellow 1 is a transitionary condition either for people who are new to social distancing (that's hardly anyone in the world by now, let's hope), or have recently recovered from COVID-19, but aren't sure if they have immunity. They should steer clear of everyone (and everyone should steer clear of them) for at least 2 weeks, then they can go to Yellow 2.
  • Yellow 2 is the social distancing we all have been practicing. If you get sick, change to Red 2 or, if you test positive for COVID-19, Red 1. If you're fed up with social distancing, don't mind running the risk of getting COVID-19, and aren't in regular contact with someone in the Red 3 group (e.g., you don't live with your grandmother), you might consider switching to Green 3.
  • Green 1 is for those who have recovered from COVID-19 and tests show that they are immune. These people can interact with anyone in the green group. They should, however, avoid or use social distancing when dealing with others. Persons in Green 1 can switch to Green 2 by carefully sanitizing themselves and the things they carry with them.
  • Green 2 is also for those who have immunity, but who have choosen to use their immunity to assist those in one of the Red groups. They indicate which Red group they are involved with by wearing a second band that indicates that group, like this:
    • if the Green 2 person is helping Red 1 people, they should wear both the Green 2 band and the Red 1 band, and they should stay away from persons in the Red 2 and Red 3 groups
    • if the Green 2 person is helping Red 2 people, they should wear both the Green 2 band and the Red 2 band, and they should stay away from persons in the Red 1, Red 3, and Green 3 groups (since Green 3 people may be carriers). Also, when moving from one Red 2 person to another, they should be very careful to sanitize themselves and the things they carry with them since person A in the Red 2 group may be COVID-19 positive while person B in the group just has a cold.
    • if the Green 2 person is helping Red 3 people, they should wear both the Green 2 band and the Red 3 band, and, for the safety of their patients, they should stay away from persons in the Red 1, Red 2, and Green 3 groups
    If Green 2 people want to hang out with other greens, they should switch to Green 1 (switching back is not too complicated, see Green 1 above).
  • Green 3 is for people who a) are not in regular contact with someone in the Red 3 group, and b) are not concerned about contracting COVID-19. They may interact normally (i.e., no social distancing) with each other, or with those in the Green 1 group. If a Green 3 person develops a serious case of COVID-19, they should change to Red 1 (this puts them on the path to being Green 1 or Green 2: demonstrated immunity). Green 3 should use social distancing (or, as a courtesy, extra precautions) when dealing with anyone in the Red or Yellow groups.
