hi my name is Larry Goldberg from hydrogen Kia this is a reference of testing for coronavirus we've been testing people for the past few days and have been indan inundated with people who are anxious and want to be tested I want to clarify who needs to be tested but more importantly who does not need to be tested if you're under sixty years of age and you're healthy and you're not around older people you do not need to be tested we already are at a stage unfortunately with everyone must act as if they do have Corona however if you're feeling fine go about your day stay away from all the people and unhealthy people you do not need to be tested if you have fever and a cough stay home and rest you do not need to be tested if you feel you're having shortness of breath or an neq type of event seek medical care however here's when you should be tested if you come into the office and you come in the contact with somebody who has covered 19 symptoms are for high-risk patients only if you have high blood pressure diabetes lung disease cancer those are the people who are at high risk and you're above 65 those are the ones that are gonna come in and get tested the test will take about two to four days to get results but again we're gonna still ask you to isolate yourself and quarantine yourself however if you are a young and healthy you do not need to be tested you can stay home quarantine yourself and make sure that you don't give this virus to people who are elderly who have the potential for getting very sick and having to be in the hospital so again the recommendations for who gets tested high-risk group patients who have high blood pressure diabetes kidney disease patients who have cancer then immunocompromise you're older than 65 if you have the symptoms those are the patients that we're testing however if you're young and healthy the best thing for you to do to help yourself without the community is to stay home isolate yourself until you set them free and then to go about your day thank you and have a good day and keep healthy hi this is just let me go over from hi urgent care I'm here for giving you a follow up on what's going on with this with virus over the past couple of days we've been seeing a lot of positive tests and all of the places that are doing testing are coming back positive I just want to update you and let you know that at this time there's no reason to panic however it's strongly advised that everybody assumes that they have the virus we will not be testing most people because it makes no difference whether we know what we don't know anybody that does have symptoms needs to assume that they have the virus I am asking and pleading everybody that they stay home and spend time at home this way they do not go out into public and infect others who are not infected the most people who are vulnerable are the really old people who have the underlying comorbid conditions and they could potentially get very sick the hospitals have been over whelmed and overloaded with patients coming in with this virus and if it keeps going this way the health system can crash we're asking everybody assume that you have the virus please stay home if you have any issues or you feel sick you can always contact your local doctor you can call the urgent care we can decide what we can do from there but as of now please I'm asking everybody stay home that is the way we're going to get this under control at this point right now we will not be testing people people who are getting tested again are the ones that we went through before whether you have the above 65 whether you have any comorbid conditions whether it's high blood pressure diabetes cancer your munis oppressed those are the only ones that we're testing if you're young and healthy assume you have the virus stay home wash your hands clean the surfaces that you touch stay far away from everybody people ask me why if I have somebody at home that doesn't have it and it's a small house distance yourself from them as must as you as much as you can this is the only way we're going to control this again I cannot utter the importance of staying home cleaning your hands washing your face do not touch your face do not touch your nose and not touch your eyes wash your hands thoroughly wash the surfaces that you touch thoroughly and this is the way we will overcome this please be healthy stay safe and stay home you
