Dear Patient of FOWH,
Just hours after we sent this message yesterday, the guidelines from CDC changed!
Please note the yellow highlighted changes below.
If you are sick with COVID-19, think you might have COVID-19, or test positive:
- People who test positive should isolate for 5 days and, if asymptomatic at that time, they may leave isolation if they can continue to mask for 5 days to minimize the risk of infecting others.
- Stay home and take care of yourself. Get rest and stay hydrated. Take over-the-counter medicines, such as acetaminophen, to help you feel better. Use steam or humidifiers to aid in breathing. Walking outdoors and getting fresh air can be helpful and is safe.
- Call us before you come to the office for any scheduled appt.
- OB patients 20 weeks or later can go to Labor and Delivery for urgent obstetric issues. They will do an antigen test upon arrival. CALL US FIRST.
- Call us or go to the Hospital for emergency warning signs such as:
- Trouble breathing
- Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
- New confusion
- Inability to wake or stay awake
- Pale, gray, or blue-colored skin, lips, or nail beds, depending on skin tone
