Some important Covid-19 symptoms and precautions you should know

The Covid-19 disease is a result of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This infectious disease can spread from one person to another through small air particles from coughing, sneezing, speaking, or even breathing! While avoiding close contact is the main preventive measure, you should also avoid touching potentially contaminated surfaces.

Read ahead, and you get to find out the safety measures we have taken to make you feel more comfortable and well taken care of at our hospital.

  • We have removed items such as magazines, toys and vending machines from our location. These items are at a higher risk of becoming contaminated with harmful viruses & if they come into contact with an infected person’s body fluids, they can easily spread from one person to another.
  • Strict regulations are enforced to prevent the spread of illness. Please do not bring food and drinks into our clinic.

Precautions against Covid-19 should not stop at our location. Do your best to protect yourself and others, by following the CDC guidelines and the advice you get from your local health department. By following these safety measures, you keep yourself and your loved ones safe.

If you have been injured and are uncertain of the best way to get back on your feet, we invite you to check out our facility in Tampa. Our main goal is to help patients live their lives free from pain so they can enjoy life again.

What’s the difference between Asymptomatic and Pre-symptomatic?

The two terms are similar in that an individual is without Covid symptoms. 'Asymptomatic' refers to exposure to the virus, leading to infection, however without any symptoms. Pre-symptomatic on the other hand refers to someone who has tested positive & are not showing symptoms yet, however they will eventually develop.

Settings that are high risk for Covid-19 infection as identified by WHO include:

  • Overcrowded locations.
  • Places with close contact.
  • Enclosures with poor ventilation.

If you are attending a gathering, think about the steps you need to take to protect yourself and your loved ones from COVID-19!
