Bighorn Valley Health Center update: PLEASE REFRAIN FROM BRINGING EXTRA PEOPLE TO YOUR CLINIC VISITS.

Although the risk of severe illness may be different for everyone, anyone can get and spread COVID-19. Everyone has a role to play in slowing the spread and protecting themselves, their family, and their community.

As we continue to protect our vulnerable populations, please NOTE that for your protection we will continue to triage patients who present with COVID-19 like symptoms.

Some questions you will be asked when calling to make an appointment will be:
1. Have you or someone close to you recently traveled out of county?
2. Do you have a cough? Shortness of breath? Fever or flu-like symptoms?
3. Have you been in close contact with, or do you live with someone who has these symptoms?
4. Have they (or you) been in contact with anyone who has been confined due to the COVID-19 virus in the last two weeks?
5. Have you come in contact with anyone who has traveled to an area where there are known coronavirus out breaks?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, we ask that you please call before coming to the clinic. When you show up for your appointment, please wait in your car and call the clinic number. They will get your information, (make/model/color of the car you are in and where you are parked) come to meet you and begin the process of getting you inside the building.

This is for your safety and the safety of our community. We thank you for your understanding during this time.

For more information please go to cdc.gov or call your local public health department.

Governors in both parties have expressed frustration at the federal approach, with one Republican calling it ‘crazy.’

**Public Service Announcement**
Through our efforts to meet our client’s needs for a variety of medical supplies we have learned that a major disruption in the supply chain for hand sanitizer are the bottles; specifically a lack thereof.

While a variety of industries such as distilleries are now making hand sanitizer to meet demand, the small 1-6oz. containers are mostly imported from China; hence causing further delays and in some cases inflated pricing for hand sanitizer.

It is for this reason, we at a Catena are recommending that you do NOT throw away any used hand sanitizer containers as they can easily be reused. Be on the lookout soon for community hand sanitizer refilling stations and options near you.

Stay Home = Be Safe.

These are tumultuous times, especially in the healthcare industry but price gouging for the sake of making a profit on the backs of mass hysteria is a new low. Don't be like Matt.

Amazon cracked down on coronavirus price gouging. Now, while the rest of the world searches, some sellers are holding stockpiles of sanitizer and masks.
