If you have a fever and cough or difficulty breathing, these steps will help you find the care you need and limit the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in our region:

Call before you come

Please call your doctor's office or an urgent care clinic for advice about where you should go for treatment.
Call 9-1-1 for emergencies

Calling 9-1-1 is always the fastest and most efficient way to get proper treatment for medical emergencies.
Consider staying home and taking advantage of an E-Visit

When symptoms strike, connect with a provider through an E-Visit instead of traveling to the urgent care or the doctor’s office.

Learn more about E-Visits from these area practices:
- Northeast Georgia Physicians Group
- Longstreet Clinic

The best way to avoid infection is to avoid exposure. Here are simple steps you can take to lower your risk of catching or spreading illness:

Wear a mask – a cloth face cover can protect other people in case you are infected. Everyone should wear a cloth face cover in public settings and when around people who don’t live in your household. Continue to keep about 6 feet between yourself and others. The cloth face cover is not a substitute for social distancing.
Avoid close contact – maintain 6 feet of distance between yourself and people who don’t live in your household. If someone in your household is sick, maintain 6 feet of distance from them as well.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer after touching tissues.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces to help prevent the spread of germs
Monitor your health daily – Watch for fever, cough, shortness of breath, or other symptoms of COVID-19. Follow CDC guidance if symptoms develop.
