COVID-19 Updates

Prior to seeking care, residents are encouraged to use the following guidelines to make the best decisions regarding their health.

Worried, but well
Do not immediately go to a hospital, emergency room (ER) or doctor’s office. If you are worried-well, going to a hospital or doctor’s office just further overwhelms medical staff and adds to a higher concentration of people.

Feeling ill, but otherwise would not have sought out medical care
If you have a fever or cough and, if it were not for COVID-19, you would not have otherwise sought care, do not immediately seek care at an ER, hospital or doctor’s office unless you feel your condition is urgent or emergent.

If you want advice, call the state hotline at 1 (800) 722-5725 or your local health care provider.

If you are sick and feel you have an emergency
Call your doctor or seek medical care. The hospitals across the state stand ready to serve.
