Preventing infection is very important and straightforward, but requires vigilance and focus. Here are some of the key prevention methods: • Wash your hands with soap often and for at least 20 seconds each time (this is enough to destroy the virus) • Use hand sanitizer when you can’t wash your hands • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth • Clean and disinfect your home daily • Practice social distancing at a minimum of six feet If you are sick, and especially if you believe you may have the virus, to prevent exposing your family and other people to the virus, please: • Stay home but seek medical care • Continue frequent hand washing, cleaning, and disinfecting • Cover your coughs and sneezes • Separate yourself and self-quarantine from other people and animals in your home • Avoid sharing personal household items • Wear a facemask • Call ahead before visiting a medical provider If you have any questions for us here at Physicians Now Urgent Care or if you require our services, please call us at (301) 709-7459.
