    HRMC Continues to Recommend Social Distancing

    March 20, 2020

    To help prevent spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) illness, Huron Regional Medical Center recommends “social distancing” as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

    Here’s what social distancing means:

    • Limit close contact with people
      • Limit physical contact, including handshakes
      • Avoid hugging or kissing people who are sick or showing symptoms of illness, keep your distance about six feet away
      • Limit in-person meetings, instead use phone, email and other communication tools when possible
      • Increase physical space when you are working or talking with others out in public
    • Stay home if you are sick
      To help prevent the spread of any illness, stay home from work, school, church or other group gatherings if you are ill with any of these symptoms:
      • Fever of 100° or higher
      • Cough
      • Shortness of breath
      • Sore throat
    • Identify actions to take if you need to postpone or cancel events
      • Officials may ask you to modify, postpone or cancel large events for the safety and well-being of your event staff, participants and the community.
      • If possible, plan alternative ways for participants to enjoy the events by television, radio or online.
    • Avoid crowds, especially in poorly ventilated spaces
      • Your risk of exposure to respiratory viruses like COVID-19 may increase in crowded, closed-in settings with little air circulation if there are sick people in the crowd.
    • Reduce or limit large gatherings
      • Consider that now may not be the best time for parties or potlucks.
    • Limit non-essential travel

    People who feel they may have been exposed to COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and are displaying symptoms are asked to CALL AHEAD to their healthcare provider. It is important to call your healthcare provider first rather than going to the clinic or another healthcare facility directly in order to protect other patients and staff. Your healthcare provider will give you medical advice on what to do next.

    To learn more about COVID-19, click here to be redirected to the HRMC COVID-19 information page. If you have questions or want more information, please call the HRMC COVID-19 Call Center at (605) 353-6214, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. If a representative is not readily available, callers should leave a message, which call center staff will return.
