COVID-19 is the disease caused by a virus strain that began spreading in the United States in early 2020. Health experts are concerned because little is known about this new respiratory virus, and it can cause severe illness and pneumonia in some people. Symptoms include fever, dry cough, and difficulty breathing. If you have symptoms, please call your primary care physician before going to the clinic. If you are exhibiting symptoms that you feel require emergent medical attention, please call 9-1-1.
