The best way to protect yourself and your family from exposure include:

- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- If someone in your house tests positive for COVID-19, stay home.
Stay Home
- Work or engage in school from home.
- Practice social distancing. Avoid large gatherings, physical contact (handshakes, kisses, hugs), and maintain a distance of at least six feet with people not in your household.
Take Care of Your Mental Health
- Take active measures to reduce stress like exercising, limiting news consumption, and maintaining your routines as best as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have symptoms of COVID-19 and mild illness, you may stay home and treat your symptoms. Not everyone exposed will need testing or medical treatment. If your symptoms worsen and you need to be seen by your doctor, please call ahead. Your doctor’s office will give you special instructions and prepare for your arrival so we can provide you the care you need while protecting others.
We also recommend that you continue taking any medications as prescribed, unless your doctor says otherwise. Contact your doctor if you have questions.
Probably not. It’s important to keep your medical appointments, especially if you have a chronic condition like diabetes, asthma, or heart disease. Your doctor will contact you if your appointments can be done virtually through a Telemedicine visit or by phone. Otherwise, plan to come to the office.
Yes! For patients who must be seen in person, we have a number of precautions in place for your safety, including frequent sanitation of surfaces and equipment and surgical face masks for all staff.
All waiting rooms and most exam rooms are reserved for well patients. Patients with fever or respiratory symptoms are provided a separate entrance, a surgical mask, and a dedicated exam room. Staff interacting with ill patients are using extra protective equipment. Exam rooms are sanitized after each visit.
The earliest appointments are reserved for our most vulnerable patients (infants, elderly, and immunocompromised). Well-visits like check-ups for chronic conditions or acute conditions like injury may be scheduled at any time. Please arrive for your visit alone, if possible, or with only one attendant if necessary.
Patients experiencing fever or respiratory symptoms will be scheduled only in the afternoons.
Patients can be seen alone or, if needed, may bring one attendant.
Our practices are open. Your doctor’s office may have changed their hours and/or are seeing patients remotely via telemedicine (a visit that takes place virtually over video or by phone). Please call the practice first to be advised how we can best serve you.
Starting May 16, 2020, we’ll resume seeing patients on Saturdays, either in office or by telehealth!
Virtual Visits
It’s important to keep your medical appointments, especially if you have a chronic condition like diabetes, asthma, or heart disease.
Your doctor will contact you if your appointments can be done virtually through a Telemedicine visit or by phone. We are performing virtual (Telemedicine) visits through a platform called FUSE. If you have a scheduled virtual appointment, you will receive an email with a link and instructions. A Lamoille Health Partners’ team member will call you 10–15 minutes prior to your appointment to ensure you are ready or to provide assistance as needed.
