About UMC Health System
It’s important to remember if you haven’t traveled to an infected region as defined by the CDC or been in close contact with someone known to have the virus, your risk of contracting COVID-19 is very low. However, the CDC recommends if you’ve traveled to an infected region within the last 14 days or were in close contact with someone confirmed to have the infection and begin to feel sick with fever, cough, or shortness of breath, seek medical care. Call your primary care provider before going to a healthcare facility and let them know about your travel and symptoms to limit potential exposure to others and avoid spreading the virus. If you don't meet the CDC's criteria for COVID-19 but are still concerned or have questions, you can speak directly with a provider through UMC Virtual Visits to receive specific care recommendations.
