An Update on COVID-19 from JUCM

Over the past few days, the Centers or Disease Control and Prevention and various state health departments have released details about a growing number of confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19. The general public has been attentive to local and national media coverage on the subject, with many taking to social media to express concern and to conjecture about how serious the threat may be in their areas. Unfortunately, much of that “conjecture” feeds an already steady stream of hysteria and misinformation. As such, it’s likely that patients in your area will present with symptoms they find concerning for COVID-19. Whether those concerns are warranted or not, it would behoove your team to prepare accordingly. The Urgent Care Association has prepared an advisory to help you do just that.
