One of the safest, easiest ways to get help in Colorado for coronavirus symptoms is through Virtual Urgent Care. Photo: Getty Images.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Unfortunately, the new coronavirus is spreading throughout Colorado and worries about the outbreak are increasing. What should you do if you have symptoms like a fever, cough or shortness of breath?<\/p>\n

For those who have general questions about coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, or want information about testing, the best place to get help is through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

People can call 303.389.1687<\/span> or 1.877.462.2911<\/span> for answers in many languages. Or, for those seeking answers in English, you can email COHELP@RMPDC.org<\/a>.<\/u><\/p>\n

For patients in Colorado who want to see a medical provider from the privacy of home, an online visit through UCHealth\u2019s Virtual Urgent Care<\/a> can be one of the easiest, safest ways to get help.<\/p>\n

\u201cCOVID-19 is quite infectious, so if you can stay home and get medical advice, that gives you two advantages. First, if you\u2019re sick, you\u2019re not going to be bringing your illness into a doctor\u2019s office or a hospital. Second, you won\u2019t be exposed to other patients,\u201d said Dr. Chris Davis, an expert in emergency medicine and infectious diseases, and Medical Director for UCHealth\u2019s Virtual Urgent Care<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re worried and you have any risk factors, you can see a provider. If you need a test, then we can tell you what to do and the closest place to get tested,\u201d Davis said.<\/p>\n

Patients who are in Colorado can see a provider through the Virtual Urgent Care<\/a> related to coronavirus symptoms or other medical concerns including, the flu, colds, seasonal allergies, coughs, pink eye, sinus infections, sore throats, urinary tract infections and vomiting or diarrhea.<\/p>\n

As long as patients have a smart phone or a computer with video and audio capabilities, they can see a provider through a secure, private online visit.<\/p>\n

Patients using Virtual Urgent Care<\/a> do not need to be a current UCHealth patient and don\u2019t need insurance. Anyone in Colorado, including visitors to the state, can use the service. Insurance typically covers the visit.<\/p>\n

All Virtual Urgent Care<\/a> providers are trained now on how to help patients determine if they are at risk for COVID-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking for symptoms and also for a travel history. Have you recently been to the five countries where the outbreaks are the worst: China, Italy, Iran, South Korea or Japan? Or, have you been to California, Washington State, Florida New York, places that have ongoing cases of community transmission?\u201d Davis said.<\/p>\n

Many patients won\u2019t need additional care beyond their online visit, Davis said. But for those who do need to be tested for COVID-19 or to go to an ER for immediate follow-up care, the fee for the Virtual Urgent Care<\/a> appointment will be waived.<\/p>\n

Davis said it\u2019s reassuring for patients to get same-day appointments with Colorado health experts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a pretty fast-moving situation. It\u2019s nice to have a dedicated group of providers who are keeping track of this coronavirus outbreak on a daily basis,\u201d Davis said.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no referral necessary. Anyone in Colorado can create an account through My Health Connection<\/a> and request an appointment online for a Virtual Urgent Care appointment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat makes this so great and convenient is the setting. When you\u2019re dealing with a pandemic, you can get your questions answered without having to leave your home,\u201d Davis said. \u201cIf you\u2019re worried about being exposed or exposing others, this is a great option.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
