Coronavirus Updates

If you or your child develops a fever and symptoms of respiratory illness, such as cough or shortness of breath, and you have traveled to an area with transmission of COVID-19 or think you may have been exposed to COVID-19, contact your medical provider immediately. Before you go to a doctor’s office or emergency room, call ahead and tell them about your/your child's symptoms and any recent travel. They will coordinate safe treatment and testing and get you the care you need. If you feel sick, avoid contact with others and wash hands often with soap and water.
