With the ever changing situation involving the Coronavirus, it is important for us to make sure our patients have access to up-to-date information about the virus. For trustworthy sources and a useful screening tool we recommend :

  • The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) : COVID-19 in the U.S.
  • New York State Department of Health: COVID-19 in New York State
