Dear friends, the outbreak of a lethal coronavirus infection (2019-nCoV) in central China put our Chinese community at risk, given the fact huge volume of people travel back and forth between the two countries. Two days ago, the first case in the United States was confirmed in Seattle, WA, a man recently returned from Wuhan, the city where this epidemic disease started. Although CDC put screening processes in a couple of major US airports, we must keep vigilant to ensure the safety within our community. Please follow the instructions from CDC website. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/about/prevention.html Early reporting is extremely important. If the patient, either yourself, your friend or family member, came from Mainland of China, within past three months, especially from Wuhan City, please call his/her primary care physician immediately. Or call the local Department of Health, commutable diseases reporting lines: 410-396-4436 Maryland 804-864-8141 Virginia 202-442-8141 Washington DC If patient is so sick and needs ER visit, please call ER first and report the exposure history before patient arrives. Try not to visit doctor office or urgent care directly and avoid possible spreading of this highly contagious virus. Take care and God bless our community.

如果患者近三月内来自中国大陆，特别是武汉地区的，请立即通知自己的家庭医生。家庭医生会提前通知当地卫生部门做出特殊安排接诊。
如果没有家庭医生，请拨打以下电话，

(804) 864-8141 维州

当地公共卫生部门会指导您下一步怎么做。
不要直接去医生诊所，Urgent Care或者其他医疗机构， 因为他们没有应对能力，反而可能造成播散。
情况严重需要上医院急诊的，务必在第一时间，最好在到达医院前告诉医护人员暴露历史，便于医院做好特殊接诊的准备。
大疫当前， 我们不能独善其身。请积极配合美国卫生医疗系统， 保障家人和社区的健康。
