right care right now
What happens if I have cold or flu-like symptoms?  

You’ve probably heard about the Coronavirus in the news. The health risk remains low for most people, but if you have cold or flu-like symptoms it is important to visit a clinic.   

If you experience any of the following, visit your doctor or a medical clinic in your neighborhood: 

Fever 
Cough or sore throat 
Runny or stuffy nose 
Body aches, headache, or chills   

If you feel ill, here a few ways to stop spreading illness:   

Stay home and get lots of rest  
Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds  
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue  
Follow your doctor’s advice    

Only call 911 for serious or life-threatening emergencies. For most issues like the cold or flu, you will receive better care at a clinic. Wait times are shorter. Follow-up care is better. Also, there is probably one close by in your neighborhood.
