Protection Against The Coronavirus Covid 19

What You Can Do

While a new type of illness can be scary, you can help protect yourself by following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations for preventing respiratory illnesses.

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.

If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

Stay home when you’re sick.

Cough or sneeze into your elbow or use a tissue and put it in the trash immediately.

Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

Get the influenza vaccine.

As the latest coronavirus continues to spread in the United States, we are asking that if you are sick with fever and/or respiratory symptoms, please call our office before coming in for your appointment. Visitors not allowed to accompany patients to their appointments.
