  • By March 2020, the coronavirus (COVID-19) was starting its spread throughout the United States. Many Arizonans were uncertain how to stay safe during this time.
  • Seek urgent care if you are experiencing fever, cough, shortness of breath and other respiratory illness symptoms. Mild symptoms are akin to common cold or flu and likely do not require medical attention. If you feel sick, get tested. If you test positive you should quarantine, regardless of the severity of your symptoms.
  • To stay healthy, follow CDC guidelines — wear a mask, wash your hands, social distance, disinfect surfaces frequently, don’t touch your face and avoid traveling unless necessary.
