Recommendations for you to help limit the spread of COVID-19:
- The California Public Health Department advises that if a person develops symptoms of COVID-19 including fever, cough or shortness of breath, and has reason to believe they may have been exposed, they should call their health care provider or local health department before seeking care. Contacting them in advance will make sure that people can get the care they need without putting others at risk. Please be sure to tell your health care provider about your travel history.
- Wash your hands regularly with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds.
- Use hand sanitizer when you are not able to wash hands. Hand sanitizer is available in several areas throughout our office. Please use it when you enter and leave our office and examining rooms.
- Avoid touching your face unless you are sure your hands are clean and have not been touching common items such as wallet, keys, phones, etc.
- Keep your immune system strong by getting plenty of sleep, eat well and maintain calmness.
We want you to know that the health and safety of you and our staff members remains our top priority. Please do not hesitate to contact us on 818-881-9800 with any questions.
