Community Corner 1/18/2024

As you may have noticed, Covid-19 is back.  Many people in our community have already had it and it’s not fun.  We all have to do our part to keep our vulnerable friends, family members, co-workers, and immunocompromised people safe (chemo patients, bone marrow transplant patients, diabetics, etc.).  Symptoms are, but not confined to:  Headache, Sore Throat, Cough, Congestion, Sneezing, Fever & Chills, and Fatigue.  Some people have gastric symptoms such as Nausea, Vomiting and Diarrhea.  Food may not taste right or there could be a loss of taste or smell. 

Home tests are available at Safeway, Mt. Grant General Hospital in the reception area or the Safety office. In some cases, symptoms are present for several days before resulting in a positive Covid test. 

If you wish to have a Covid-19 vaccination, talk with our clinic, Safeway (or other) pharmacies, or the Central Nevada Health district. 

Please wash your hands frequently or use hand sanitizer.  Stay 6 feet away from other people.  Stay home if you are sick, if you can’t stay home, please consider wearing a mask.  Masks are a simple and effective way to protect yourself and others.  Your health is important to us.
