Staying Safe While Going To The Doctor Or Getting Medicine During The Pandemic

• Talk to your doctor online, by phone or e-mail.

• Use telemedicine, if available, or communicate with your doctor or nurse by phone or e-mail.
• Talk to your doctor about rescheduling procedures that are not urgently needed.

If you must visit in-person, protect yourself and others.

• If you think you have COVID-19, let the office know and follow guidance.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face covering when you have to go out in public.
• Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.
• Use disinfecting wipes on frequently touched surfaces such as handles, knobs, touchpads (if available).
• Stay at least 6 feet away from others while inside and in lines.
• When paying, use touchless payment methods if possible. If you cannot use touchless payment, sanitize your hands after paying with card, cash, or check. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds when you get home.

Limit in-person visits to the pharmacy.

• Plan to order and pick up all your prescriptions at the same time.
• If possible, call prescription orders in ahead of time. Use drive-thru windows, curbside services (wait in your car until the prescription is ready), mail-order, or other delivery services. Do the same for pet medicine.
• Check with your doctor and pharmacist to see if you can get a larger supply of your medicines so you do not have to visit the pharmacy as often.

Be safe everyone!
