A message about Covid-19 - April 7, 2020
Dr. Evan Adams, Chief Medical Officer of the FNHA, discusses the public health issues of COVID-19.
- Why you won’t be learning who has COVID 19 in your community – and why that doesn’t matter.
- The role and value of testing (it may not be as important as you think!)
- Why it’s so challenging for some to understand the necessity of physical distancing.
- The good news: most of us who contract COVID-19 will be able to recover at home.
