COVID-19 Information for Patients & Visitors

The symptoms of COVID-19 infections can range from very mild to severe, and some people have no symptoms at all. They can appear in as few as two days up to 14 days after exposure. For more information, visit the California Department of Public Health’s website.

Contact your primary care provider to learn about your options for testing and treatment.

If you're sick, contact your primary care provider so we can determine the urgency of your situation. If you think you're experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.
