Let’s support one another and take precautions to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our community. Below is a information on ways to stay healthy and help reduce illness and protect one another.
Coronavirus
If you are ill with a fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, a new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, or diarrhea, these may be symptoms of COVID-19. Please call your health care provider, clinic, or local Emergency Room prior to arrival, whenever possible. This will allow proper screening for testing when appropriate, health care advice, referrals for in-person visits, and instructions for self-isolation.
Tuberculosis (TB)
TB is an airborne disease that is transmitted from person-to-person through inhalation of the bacteria from the air. The bacteria are spread when someone sick with TB coughs, speaks, sings, or breathes, often without being initially aware for weeks or months they have the disease. People with frequent and prolonged indoor exposure to a person who is sick with TB should get tested.
People who would like more information on this potential exposure should call the County Tuberculosis Control Program at (619) 692-8621.
