ACEP’s Covid-19 page was updated today with the newest information from the CDC and CMS.
Chapters with upcoming meetings should review the CDC’s interim guidance around Hosting Mass Gatherings: “Get Your Mass Gatherings of Large Community Events Ready for Coronavirus Disease 2019”.
ACEP also released a new resource for patients: Stop the Spread: A Patient Guide to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). The guide provides tips on how to minimize the risk of contracting the virus-including whether you should wear a face mask-and how to determine whether patients should visit an emergency department.
We’ve updated our patient facing website to include the materials, and we sent this statement to the press: www.emergencyphysicians.org/press-releases/2020/….
We have created a members-only forum on engagED for COVID-19 discussion. Consider opting in to this community to share your thoughts and address solutions to expanding universal challenges.
