COVID Corner with Dr. Gary Jacques

Dear MANNM staff and Los Alamos community, New Mexico has just now reported their first 3 cases of corona virus this morning. I have no information regarding what towns/cities they are in although the epidemiologist will be calling me back and I will share what I learn. As you know by now if you have been reading these updates, this was to be expected and really shouldn't change anything except to reinforce what we already know. So, clinical staff will remain vigilant for patients with respiratory illnesses and exercise the infection control precautions that we have in place and that we have been practicing. Everyone continue with frequent hand washing, limiting close contact with sick people and other prudent measures. Good job everyone. I think we are prepared and able to continue safely serving our patients and community. Dr. Jacques
