If you have symptoms of COVID-19, call your primary care physician. If you do not have a doctor, call an urgent care facility before going. Always call ahead if you have signs and symptoms.

At the current time, the best thing you can do is stay home, wash your hands often and stay 6 feet from others if you must go out. Be sure to follow proper recommendations on masks or face coverings.

Travel Advisory for entering or re-entering New York

New York State has issued a travel advisory for anyone entering New York from a state that has a significant degree of community-wide spread of COVID-19.
If you have traveled from within one of the designated states with significant community spread, you must undertake a precautionary quarantine when you enter New York for 14 days from the last day you were in a designated state. This does not apply to any individual passing through a designated state for a limited duration (i.e. less than 24 hours) through the course of travel, or essential workers.
For a list of states that meet the criteria for required quarantine due to significant community transmission, visit https://ny.gov/states. This is based upon a seven-day rolling average, of positive tests in excess of 10%, or number of positive cases exceeding 10 per 100,000 residents.
