Dear Sisters and Brothers,
There are many questions and concerns regarding the Coronavirus outbreak in China and around the world. I have attached a comprehensive reference source provided by the CDC. Please peruse through this information, and if you have any particular questions that are not answered, or are unclear, please contact your doctor, they know your specific medical history and can give you the best advice for your particular health risks and concerns. For any general questions not answered to your satisfaction in the attachments, please feel free to contact me.
God Bless All Of You,
Richard E. Gordon, Jr., M.D., FAAFPMedical Director,

In addition to the CDC information, I would emphasize the following:
1) Proper, and frequent hand washing, is the most effective way to avoid infection.
2) Practice proper coughing technique, (see attached).
3) Maintain a good vitamin D level. A good level would be 50 to 100 on the laboratory reference test. In addition to vitamin D, a daily multivitamin- IF YOU ARE TAKING COUMADIN/WARFARIN, CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE TAKING A MULTIVITAMIN.This will help maintain a strong immune system.
