There are 3 levels of care at this time:  

1. First level: Complete Prevention. This is for all concerned and especially for those at risk mainly with chronic health conditions and elderly.

2. Those who present with symptoms such as cough, fever, sore throat, headache and/or those exposed to someone who is tested positive for COVID-19.

3. Those who are very sick are recommended to reach out to Dr. Frank Marinkovich via teleconference or Medici video consult app for an assessment and then should be directly admitted to the hospital.  

If not sure or concerned, feel free to call us via Medici app. Dr. Frank can help with the assessment.  (click here for Medici app)

       – If you must go out, wear the mask  

Important to take care of your immune system through decreased alcohol, improved sleep and regular/reasonable exercise.
