Dear Brill PT Family;

In response to the current concerns of the COVID-19, commonly knowns as the Coronavirus, we would like you to be more informed about the virus and what to be aware of for you and your families.

For more information on the COVID-19 itself visit the Center for Disease Control (CDC) website for "What You Should Know?" in relation to the COVID-19.

If you have any of the signs and symptoms for FLU that are similar to COVID-19 please call to cancel your visit.

The symptoms are as follows from the CDC:

"Reported illnesses have ranged from mild symptoms to severe illness and death for confirmed corona-virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases.

Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure*:

Fever
Cough
Shortness of breath"

For infection prevention:

Stay home when you are sick.
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
Hand Washing:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
- Our sink has hand soap that is open for patient use as well. Remember hand washing is more preferred than hand sanitizer for infection prevention.
- Hand Santizer is available at our front desk and in our treatment area.
- Always wash hands with soap and water when hands are visibly dirty.

Stay Strong, Be Well;
