(Release Date: 3/13/2020)  There has been increasing media coverage and public concern regarding the risks of CoVID-19, more commonly known as the novel coronavirus. This is an evolving situation and one to which we are paying very close attention. At the current time, the risk of infection is considered to be low . We will continue to be in contact with and defer to the authorities of our local, state, and federal health departments. Presently, it is very reassuring that there are no documented cases in Palm Beach County.

Children’s Physicians has implemented enhanced, office-wide cleaning for the next 30 days. This proactive office-wide cleaning initiative will be re-evaluated at the end of March to determine if continued intensive cleaning is warranted.

We at Children’s Physicians are taking this health threat very seriously and will continue to monitor our community for potential cases.

The Florida Department of Health advises:

- If you are sick, stay home from school.
- Avoid close contact with those who are already sick.
- Cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing with a tissue or the crook of your arm.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds.
- Avoid touching eyes, nose, or mouth.

At this time if our patients or their caregivers have recently traveled to a known CoVID-19 region or have had direct contact with a known case and are feeling ill, we ask that you remain at home to potentially avoid exposure to patients and providers in our offices.

We cannot test your child for Coronavirus in our office.  If your child meets these criteria:

- Close contact with a confirmed individual
- Travel to an affected area
- Fever, cough and shortness of breath

Please call your local health department at:

Palm Beach County 561-671-4184

AFTER HOURS POLICY

We discourage any patients from going to any walk-in clinic or emergency room unless it is a true emergency.

If it is a true emergency, please call 9-1-1.

For unexpected emergencies and acute illnesses, a clinician is available by phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including evenings, weekends and holidays.

Please limit after hours telephone calls to urgent matters only.  If you find it necessary to contact the provider after normal office hours, dial the office phone number and the answering service will forward all messages to the clinician on-call.

Your call will be returned within 15-30 minutes.  If for some unforeseen reason you do not receive a phone call back within 30 minutes, please contact our service again.
