IF YOU NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION

IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE HAS FALLEN ILL OR HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED THERE IS A SUPPORT GROUP ON FACEBOOK
COVID-19 Patient Support Facebook Group
This is a group for patients suffering from COVID-19, concerned they might have it, or simply wanting to learn how to mitigate their risk of getting the virus or flu. Medical professionals in this group volunteer their time to answer questions and provide only evidence information.
FILL OUT THE MEDICAL ONE PAGER TODAY
Begin filling out a Medical One Pager for each member of your family as soon as possible, so their medical history, any allergies, medication and diagnoses can be communicated with more ease. If symptoms begin, start listing them. The last thing you want to do when you are having trouble breathing or ill is struggle to speak. It's best to highlight any important information prior.
 Testing guidance depends on whether you have symptoms. Learn more about the coronavirus test and how to manage COVID-19:

STAY VIGILANT + FACT CHECK
Half truths, misinformation, anxiety, bias, denial and uncomfortable truths will be common, unfortunately some media are chasing sensational headlines and stories and there are those seeking to take advantage of people, even in these already frightening times.

Please be sure to fact check all of your information
Great resources for checking facts:
​It is best to practice radical self reliance and community care. Be prepared, self isolate at home as much as possible, maintain distance when interacting and contribute by staying as safe and healthy as much as possible. 

Preventative Measures and Best Practices
According to the CDC, the most important preventative measures include:
  • Avoiding close contact with people who are sick
  • Avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
  • Staying at home when you are sick
  • Covering your cough/sneeze with a tissue, and throwing the tissue in the trash
  • Cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched objects and surfaces
  • Washing hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
  • Following the CDC’s recommendations for when to use a facemask

If you feel or exhibit any flu-like symptoms (e.g., fever, cough, shortness of breath), please contact your healthcare professional and the CDC at 1-800-232-4636 or www.cdc.gov.

Hospitals are at capacity, it is advised that you only go to the hospital if absolutely necessary. The hospital is the worst place to be when you are sick, but if your condition is severe and you are having an emergency and have called the CDC hotline, it's best to be prepared.
