Corona COVID-19 Virus Update 03/31/2020

In Good Health,
Dr. Eric Sherrell & Augusta Acupuncture Clinic Staff

A message to all our friends and patients of Augusta Acupuncture Clinic.
We understand there’s a lot of fear out there from the coronavirus outbreak.

We have been carefully monitoring the information and CDC guidelines being made available regarding the Corona COVID-19 virus.

In order to do our part in the efforts to flatten the curve and impact of this virus, we have made the very difficult decision to close the operation of our office and limit treatment to herb pickup only.

We will be closed Thursday, March 19th, until April 5th, 2020.

While we are remaining fluid through this situation, as of right now, we will fully reopen April 6th.

The health of our patients, families and employees is paramount, so while we apologize for this inconvenience, we believe it is the right thing to do at this time.

Did you know that Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has proven to be very effective in treating coronavirus patients?

We have access to the latest medical news about a brave female doctor fighting COVID-19 with. Traditional Chinese Medicine.

In the spirit of total transparency, here are 3 amazing downloadables that document how Chinese doctors are treating COVID-19.

During our closure we will continue to have our cleaning crew on duty so that when we reopen, we will know that we have done everything to ensure our office is ready for your return.

Please be advised that all appointments for the remainder of March through April 5th have been canceled.

Our staff will be unavailable to answer calls during this closure. Any messages left on our voicemail will not be returned at this time.

In order to keep our patients and families as safe and healthy as possible, we are taking precautions to stop the potential exposure in the event the virus becomes more widespread in our area.

First, it is important to know the symptoms of COVID-19:

* Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure.

• Fever

• Cough

• Shortness of breath

The current recommendation is if you are experiencing mild symptoms of COVID- 19 that you isolate at home during the illness.
Do not go to work, school or public areas and avoid public transportation.
Get plenty of rest, stay hydrated and manage your symptoms at home.
Seek prompt medical attention if your illness is worsening (e.g., difficulty breathing).
If you have a medical emergency and need to call 911, notify the dispatch personnel that you have or are being evaluated for COVID-19.

AUGUSTA ACUPUNCTURE CLINIC will not be testing for suspected COVID-19.

If you suspect you have COVID-19 we suggest you contact your primary care provider.

CALL AHEAD and let them know you have or suspect you may have COVID-19.

This will help the healthcare provider’s office take steps to keep other people from getting infected or exposed.

When to reschedule your appointment (all types of illness):

• If you have a fever. Wait until 48 hours after your fever (temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or 37.8 degrees Celsius or higher) is gone to reschedule your visit. Temperature should be measured without the use of fever-reducing medicines (medicines that contains ibuprofen or acetaminophen).

• Individuals with suspected or confirmed flu, who do not have a fever, should stay home for several days. Persons with the flu are most contagious during the first 3 days of their illness.

• You have diarrhea or a “stomach bug.” Wait a minimum of 48 hours after diarrhea has resolved to reschedule your appointment.

• You have vomited in the past 24 hours.

• If you have recently traveled from China or other affected areas and have symptoms associated with COVID-19.
