Regarding the recent Pandemic of the Coronavirus, we want to\nlet our patients know that we are staying current with the ever-evolving\nrecommendations from the CDC and other government entities, who are taking\nactions to reduce the impact of this new and as yet not thoroughly studied\nillness. We realize the seriousness of this pandemic, but are confident the\nvast majority of us will not become severely ill. Most people who contract Covid-19 will suffer\na flu like illness, recover at home, and return to normal health. However, we all need to do our part to reduce\nthe risk of spreading this infectious disease to at-risk families, friends and\npatients. As such, Prescott ENT and Allergy will do all we can to strike the challenging\nbalance between caring for our patients, while also reducing the risk of\nspreading Covid-19. As we do so, we ask\nfor your help in considering the following measures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1) If you have developed a cough, sore throat or fever\nand\/or flu like symptoms in the last 2 weeks; or if you have had contact within\nthe last 2 weeks with anyone having these symptoms, please reschedule your\nappointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2) If you have recently visited a high-risk area for the\nCoronavirus, please reschedule your appointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our practice is not currently providing testing or treatment\nfor Coronavirus, flu, or similar respiratory illnesses. If you require medical attention for these\nissues, please contact or report to your family physician, urgent care or\nhospital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have a cough but no fever or flu like symptoms (i.e.\nan allergic cough, or chronic cough present for 4 weeks or longer) please wear\na face mask when entering our facility, and please use your hand sanitizer\nfrequently. Given widespread shortages\nand hoarding practices, we do not have enough masks or hand sanitizer to\nprovide to patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
