In light of the increasing outbreak of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends social distancing, which involves remaining out of congregate settings, avoiding mass gatherings, and maintaining distance whenever possible to limit the ability of the virus to spread.

The CDC and Texas Department of State Health Services (TDSHS) recommends any person that feels they have COVID-19 symptoms to call the local health department before they go to their primary care physician, walk-in clinic, or local emergency department.

If you have any questions or need guidance on diagnosis, self-quarantine, treatment, or any other questions, please call your local health department.

In response to the CDC and TDSHS infection control mitigation procedures, Physicians Premier has implemented heightened screening and triage efforts within the Emergency Departments to decrease the spread of COVID-19 between patients and healthcare workers.
