Door County Medical Center (DCMC) is closely monitoring the situation with the COVID-19 virus that has affected people in China and has spread to many other parts of the world. At this time, the immediate health risk from COVID-19 is considered low for the general American public. It is a rapidly evolving situation.
Currently the best advice is to continue to wash your hands with soap and water, and cover your cough should you have one. Individuals at greater risk due to underlying illness or immunocompromised status should consult with their healthcare provider if they have additional questions. DCMC recommends that if you are experiencing symptoms of cough, fever or body aches that are mild, please stay home, rest and maintain good fluid intake. This will help avoid potential further spread of viruses. If your symptoms are more severe, please call ahead to your Clinician’s office.
