CORONAVIRUS

With  the  heightened awareness  and  public concerns regarding  the  spread of  the  coronavirus  (COVID-19)  as well as the  on  going flu virus  and common cold, we want to assure you that public health and safety concerns are our highest priority. It has become clear that people with underlying conditions such as heart disease, chronic lung disease, diabetes, and other conditions that cause suppression of immune system particularly among the older adults, are at a high risk of serious disease if infected with the coronavirus.

We encourage you to wash your hands frequently, covering your coughs and sneezes,  and reframe from simple actions such as shaking hands. Also if you or your children are ill, please stay home other than seeking medical care. If you need medical care, call the healthcare provider and tell them that you have or may have COVID-19. This will help the healthcare provider’s take steps to keep other people from getting infected or exposed.
