A
s you read about COVID-19 in the news or hear about it from family and friends, I’d like to assure you that our Denton County Public Health is focused on keeping you informed. Although COVID-19 is a new disease, the Denton County Public Health is using existing epidemiology response plans
to provide guidance to local hospitals, emergency responders, and medical providers within Denton County on screening protocols to be aware of as well as symptoms. DCPH also is reminding the public of steps everyone can take through preventive health practices such as handwashing, covering coughs and sneezes, avoid touching your face, staying home when sick and avoiding others who are sick. These are the same tips we use for helping to prevent the spread of influenza each year. DCPH is continuously engaged in communication with federal, state, and local partners regarding COVID-19. Community members are encouraged to visit www.DentonCounty.gov/ Coronavirus for more information.
