LET US BE PERFECTLY CLEAR, ST. CLAIR COUNTY HEALTH CENTER HIGHLY RECOMMENDS WEARING A MASK IN PUBLIC. NEVER HAS ANY OF OUR STAFF SAID TO NOT WEAR A MASK.

We would hope you would care enough about others (family, friends, neighbors) in your community to keep them safe and well. Between protests, riots, opening up the State, parties, shows, graduations, car shows, camps, church, other gatherings, etc. we will be seeing increases in the State. It is up to each individual to do what is necessary to be safe and prevent further spread of this disease. PLEASE, do your part! We don't ask you to give up your freedoms. We ask you to volunteer to care about the rest of the community, your neighbors, friends and family to keep others healthy. THANK YOU for doing your part!
WEAR A MASK! USE SOCIAL DISTANCE OF 6 FEET! STAY HOME IF SICK!
CDC sent out an email about testing: Data to date show that a person who has had and recovered from COVID-19 may have low levels of virus in their body for up to 3 months after diagnosis. This means that if the person who has recovered is retested within 3 months of initial infection, they may continue to have a positive test result, even though they are not spreading COVID-19. Also according to their website, the virus may be shed for 20 days, thus the reason for wearing a mask to prevent spread.

KEY POINTS:
Social Distancing - no crowds, avoid get-togethers, travel only for necessities (food, water, medication, diapers, etc.)
Stay home if sick - fever, cough. If Shortness of breath, call your doctor or the hospital before traveling to them. When traveling to them with symptoms wear a mask.
Wash Hands regularly with soap and water for 20 seconds, rinse well, dry. Avoid touching your face.
Testing: The St. Clair County Health Center does not do testing for COVID-19. We do not have kits to test. If you are having symptoms of fever over 100.4 F, cough and difficulty breathing, you need to call your doctor. Your doctor will determine if you should be tested. At this time, the Federal Government is saying testing should be confined to hospital patients, to conserve the testing to those needing testing the most.
COVID-19 3-19-2020.pptx
As Medical Director for the St. Clair County Health Center, I recommend a gradual return to non-essential activities and businesses as directed by the Governor of Missouri’s “Show Me Strong Recovery” plan beginning Monday, May 4th,2020 through May 31st, 2020. As the virus that is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic remains among us, we should continue to minimize the risk of spreading infection by social distancing, personal hygiene and limiting physical contact with others. I recommend following the Governor’s guidelines to reopening St. Clair County, and the State of Missouri.
