Consider a phone/video Dr visit if sick

Many hospitals are promoting using tech, instead of in-person visits, to get some medical help with a 'virtual visit'.
You may be able to contact your Dr using a computer, your smartphone to discuss your illness, symptoms and get advice.

This is a smart and effective method to get initial care if you are sick.
Check online, with the hospital you use and your Dr office's websites to read updates and if they offer 'virtual visits"

Let's hope, if you need medications, you have someone healthy that can pick them up for you.
Stay home.
