As Oklahoma Begins to Ease COVID-19 Restrictions
As Oklahoma begins to ease COVID-19 restrictions, it is important to remain vigilant and take appropriate precautionary steps to protect our health. The safety measures we take for ourselves will also help protect the health and safety of those around us.
Though COVID-19 restrictions are beginning to ease, it’s important to keep these action items in mind to limit the spread of germs:
• Practice good hygiene with frequent hand washing.
• Disinfect household surfaces and items such as remote controls, counters, keypads, doorknobs, cell phones and other high-contact surfaces.
• Don’t forget to cover your coughs and sneezes.
• Avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose.
• Practice social distancing and wear protective equipment like face coverings.
It is important for individuals who exhibit symptoms associated with COVID-19 be tested — and those who test positive must continue to self-isolate. MedExpress is currently offering COVID-19 testing in designated centers in Oklahoma. Oklahoma patients also have the option to schedule a virtual visit with a licensed MedExpress health care professional.
MedExpress Urgent Care health care professionals are available for a virtual/phone interview to provide health and safety tips for how your audience can continue to stay safe and healthy as Oklahoma slowly eases COVID-19 restrictions.
MedExpress medical professionals can answer questions such as:
• What are the symptoms of COVID-19? Do all people get the same symptoms?
• What should I do if I or someone in my family experiences symptoms such as dry cough, fever or shortness of breath?
• Why is it important to continue to practice social distancing and use personal protective equipment in grocery stores and public places that reopen?
• How can I continue to protect my family at home as restrictions begin to ease?
• As restrictions ease, what are some public places that may be particularly prone to harboring germs?
• What are some ways to stay safe as I start to return to a normal routine in public?
• Is it best, for now, to avoid visiting the elderly, and those in rest homes or hospitals?
