About COVID Testing
Testing is still not widely available in the Rochester area. We are expecting a very slow roll out this week.
To deal with this bottleneck:
If you have symptoms of fever, cough and/ or shortness of breath, call your health care provider/doctor first.
Do not go to an emergency room without checking with your doctor first.
If you don’t have a doctor, call the Monroe County Health Department at (585) 753-5555.
Also, if you are not sick, stay that way and observe Social Distancing. Stay away from crowds and go out only if necessary.
I first met Dr. Tony Fauci at an AIDS Conference in 1985. He has seen us through the development of 50 HIV drugs, global AIDS research, Zika and Ebola. He is a smart guy who understands contagion.
