Dear Patient of FOWH,
Omicron is spreading quickly and we are getting phone calls daily from our patients, especially our pregnant ones.
We will do our best to respond individually to your concerns, but please also review the advice below. Thank you.
If you are sick with COVID-19, think you might have COVID-19, or test positive:
- The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends isolating for 10 days after you test positive.
- Stay home and take care of yourself. Get rest and stay hydrated. Take over-the-counter medicines, such as acetaminophen, to help you feel better. Use steam or humidifiers to aid in breathing. Walking outdoors and getting fresh air can be helpful and is safe.
- Call us before you come to the office for any scheduled appt.
- OB patients 20 weeks or later can go to Labor and Delivery for urgent obstetric issues. They will do an antigen test upon arrival. CALL US FIRST.
- Call us or go to the Hospital for emergency warning signs such as:
- Trouble breathing
- Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
- New confusion
- Inability to wake or stay awake
- Pale, gray, or blue-colored skin, lips, or nail beds, depending on skin tone
