The novel coronavirus is a newly discovered virus. It causes an illness called COVID-19. Many of the symptoms are similar to the flu: dry cough, fever, difficulty breathing.
COVID-19 spreads easily from person to person, mainly by the following routes:
Most people who get sick with COVID-19 have a mild illness. Many of those infected don’t even know they have it. As with influenza, in some cases it can lead to serious illness such as pneumonia and even death. It appears that people over 60 and those with chronic medical conditions are most likely to develop severe illness and complications. The illness has not infected very many children and most of those cases have been very mild.
We have put processes in place to lower the risk of illness for patients and staff including testing, treatment, and eventually, vaccination against COVID-19. Our medical staff is following recommendations from local public health officials and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) in order to be able to provide appropriate care for our patients.
The pharmacy is open. If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or were asked to quarantine, we strongly prefer that you stay at home. In situations where you are in need of essential prescriptions and cannot wait, your options are:
No. We ask that you contact your health insurance plan to ask if they offer a delivery program. If you need help, our case managers can offer assistance.
In order to decrease the risk that patients and staff face by sharing the same space, we have changed most of our appointments to virtual visits, either over the telephone or through a video link. You will be informed of your appointment type when our staff call to confirm your appointment. Please keep your appointment unless directed otherwise. If you believe you have been exposed to COVID-19, please call to speak to one of our medical staff before coming in. All of our locations remain open to serve the community.
Yes, everyone over the age of 2 should wear a mask in public settings and when around people who don’t live in your household, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.
Do NOT use a mask meant for a healthcare worker. Currently, surgical masks and N95 respirators are critical supplies that should be reserved for healthcare workers and other first responders.
Continue to keep about 6 feet between yourself and others. The mask is not a substitute for social distancing.
You should get tested if you:
If you are experiencing symptoms and/or have been in contact with someone who tested positive, you can be tested at our downtown site. You must call the clinic to schedule a telehealth appointment first. Your health care provider will ask you questions about your symptoms and schedule a COVID test. The test will be administered outside of the clinic for safety precautions.
There are many different symptoms of COVID-19. Some of the most common ones are fever, cough, shortness of breath, muscle aches, and fatigue. Some people may have a runny or stuffy nose, headache, or loss of sense of taste or smell. Other people may experience nausea, diarrhea, or loss of appetite. If you experience any of these symptoms, please call your doctor in order to be evaluated.
We are screening all patients coming to the clinic for symptoms and checking for fever. All employees working at our clinics are also screened on a daily basis. We are taking extra sanitation precautions at all our clinic sites and have spaced out chairs in our waiting rooms to encourage social distancing. In addition, patients coming in for care who are sick are seen in a different space from patients coming in for routine care. For patients being tested for the coronavirus, we follow processes designed to prevent transmission of the infection. All staff and patients are required to wear masks.
Public health officials recommend the following steps to prevent the spread of all respiratory viruses, including influenza and COVID-19.
If you feel unwell, particularly if you have a fever, intense achiness, coughing, or trouble breathing, it is very important to contact your doctor immediately for assistance direction. Typical OTC medications and their use is below.
