COVID-19
If you are ill with fever, cough, shortness of breath, or other respiratory symptoms that may be symptoms of COVID-19, please call your health care provider or clinic or Emergency Room prior to arrival, whenever possible. This will allow proper screening for testing when appropriate, health care advice, referrals for in-person visits, and instructions for self-isolation or self-quarantine.
