March 24, 2020 Dear patients, We at The Practice value our patient’s health and well-being. We are making every effort to keep you informed and up to date as much as possible. As you are aware, it has been communicated that there are confirmed cases of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) in our community. The Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person easily. Tips by Dr. Mensink and symptoms to watch for:... Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands Avoid close contact with people who are sick Clean and disinfect objects and surfaces Get at least 8 hours of sleep Stay hydrated Eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables If you get sick, you should: Stay home until fully recovered Cover your cough/ sneeze into your elbow or shoulder, or cough / sneeze into a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash Continue washing your hands with soap often Drink lots of water as often as every 20-30 minutes Please keep in mind that Cough, runny nose, low grade fever, or mild sore throat are NOT necessarily an indication that you need to see a doctor. If you cannot hold your breath for 10 seconds and have a hard time breathing please go to the emergency room. If you have a fever do not treat the fever. Allow your body to fight back. Dr. Mensink recommends eating raw minced garlic & raw honey three times a day, Vitamin D and Iodine, and at least 4,000 mg of Vitamin C and drinking plenty of water throughout the day. The Practice would like to remind you that we are in this together and here to help to the best of our ability during these uncertain times. We cannot stress enough how important it is to remain home and nurse yourself back to health while you are feeling ill and showing symptoms. This virus spreads quickly and it is up to ALL of us to protect ourselves, our families and each other. God Bless us all, The Practice Staff
