Our community – along with communities around the world – is navigating unprecedented challenges as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to spread. 我们的生活和社区的循环被改变了, 我们都在努力适应不断变化的新常态. 恐惧和不确定性使我们的集体能力复杂化.
Clark Regional Medical Center is dedicated to helping everyone in our region navigate the COVID-19 environment in which we are all living right now. 我们从病人那里收到了很多问题, partners and 邻居 about how people can assist our efforts to keep our community as safe and healthy as possible.
以下是一些每个人都可以采取的重要行动:
呆在家里.
遇到困难时,我们的第一反应是伸出援手——团结起来互相帮助. That’s why so many people are struggling with the best and most crucial advice healthcare experts are giving: stay at home and keep your distance from friends, 邻居, 甚至是家人. 但我们都必须听从并遵循这个建议. People’s lives depend on it – especially our healthcare workers and those who are over 60 or already live with underlying health conditions.
我们鼓励大家尽量呆在自己家里. 只有在必要的时候才出去,选择一个不拥挤的时间去杂货店或药房. 如果你看到其他人,尽量与他们保持至少6英尺的距离,不要碰他们. 不要握手、拥抱或亲吻. 记住:很多携带这种病毒的人不会表现出任何症状. So, 避免感染的最可靠方法是保持社交距离并取消所有聚会, 即使是小的.
遵循医疗指导.
如果你认为你已经接触过COVID-19, 我们建议你自我监测发热或呼吸系统疾病的症状14天. 如果你开始发烧或出现呼吸道疾病的症状, 而且它们很温和,你可以在家里控制它们, 你应该留在家里隔离.
对任何变化的症状保持警惕,如果症状恶化,请就医. 如果你觉得需要去看医生, 在你到达之前打电话告诉他们你正在经历可能与COVID-19有关的症状. This will allow your provider’s office staff to properly prepare for your visit and take the necessary precautions to keep others from being infected or exposed.
