With the recent coronavirus outbreak in nearby countries, we want to offer guidance in assisting those who feel affected.Unfortunately, as you may know, the test kits are not readily available to all healthcare facilities. As such, we are unable to perform the testing at Windermere Medical Center.
Go to your local health department if you feel sick with fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, and have been in close contact with a person known to have COVID-19, or if you live in or have recently traveled from an area with ongoing spread of COVID-19.
Patient Guidelines
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released Interim Clinical Guidance for Management of Patients with Confirmed 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Infection and guidance for Evaluating and Reporting Persons Under Investigation (PUI).
Travel Guidelines
Due to the current risk of COVID-19, the CDC recommends that travelers avoid all nonessential travel to the People’s Republic of China (this does not include the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau, or the island of Taiwan).
