If you are sick, call the office of your primary care provider ahead of time to get advice on how to proceed with your care.
It’s also important to know that most people who get COVID-19 will have mild to moderate symptoms and recover fully. Those with serious health issues like COPD, heart disease, diabetes and cancer are at a greater risk from illnesses such as COVID-19 and even the flu. Because there’s no vaccine against COVID-19, it’s important that we all practice everyday prevention to help stop it from spreading. Be sure to:
-
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
-
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
-
Avoid close contact with people who are sick
-
Stay home when you are sick
-
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue (and throw the tissue in the trash)
-
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
COVID-19 is not a reason to panic, but to take commonsense precautions. Working together, we can all make an impact on the prevention of this virus until there is a vaccine.
