Consistent with the NCH Mission to provide high quality healthcare, it is critically important that patients receive the most appropriate test with corresponding response time. Please note that only individuals who have had symptoms consistent with COVID-19 (provided by the Centers for Disease Control, and listed below) within the past seven days should receive a rapid BinaxNOW™ COVID-19 antigen test:
- Fever or chills
- Cough
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Fatigue
- Muscle or body aches
- Headache
- New loss of taste or smell
- Sore throat
- Congestion or runny nose
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
In addition to testing as appropriate, members of the public should examine their routines, and ensure that the following actions are taken:
- Wear a face covering
- Avoid non-essential contact with those outside of home or work
- Wash hands regularly
- Stay home from work, school, or other gatherings, if not feeling well
- If not feeling well, contact a medical provider by phone
- Get a flu shot
These measures are especially important to protect the older adults and/or those with underlying health conditions living in our community.
Individually and collectively, we remain committed to the wellbeing of our citizens. The ongoing implementation of best practices, consultation with public health professionals, and community teamwork will help keep those in the North Country safe.
We implore everyone to play an active role to best maintain the low number of COVID-19 cases in our region.
