By now we all are aware that COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease caused by the SAR-CoV-2 .  An infected person can feel absolutely normal in the beginning and still infect others. With strict protocols we will be partially reopening on May 11th. The process will be different, First, when you call,  you will be asked a series of questions so that we may screen  for persons with infection  and  send them  directly  for testing  without coming  to  the office.  In this way we will maintain a safe environment for our patients and staff.  You  will need  to  bring  a  mask  to  wear.  We will not be using the waiting room.  When you arrive in the parking lot please don your mask and call the office describe the car you're in and a staff member will come to your car and take your temperature. If less than 100.4 degrees, you will be escorted directly to an examination room for you’re visit.

The current CDC recommendations are still to stay at home if you can  and  wear  a  mask when you go out in public and socially distance when  you  leave.  If you have a cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, fever, chills, muscle pain, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell.  isolate yourself from your family and call us to  arrange testing. If you are very sick with difficulty breathing,  cough, confusion or blue nails, go to the closest emergency room. 

Please check the CDC.com or the NIH website for the most current and accurate recommendations or just listen to Dr Fauci, ;-)). Please live safely, and stay healthy!!
