Coronavirus Information
Go backWe hope that everyone is well and you and your family remain in good health. As we enter into the flu season, we want to remind our staff and our clients about safety measures in the office to keep everyone safe and what to do if you feel sick or are someone who is at risk for COVID-19, the flu, or another communicable disease.
We have attached below the CDC links as both a resource and a tool to keep you safe and prepared.
M. Stanley Metz & Co., Inc. ask that any employee or client who is feeling ill or may have been exposed to COVID19 to take it seriously and refrain from coming to the office and potentially infecting the staff or other clients and, in turn, their family members. We also want to remind staff and our clients to wear a face mask when in public, and around others not within your same household (such as the office). It is important that staff and our clients adhere to CDC guidelines.
If you have a fever, cough, or other symptoms, you might have COVID-19. Most people have a mild form of the illness and can recover at home. If you think you may have been exposed to COVID-19, contact your healthcare provider.
- Keep track of your symptoms.
- If you have an emergency warning sign (including trouble breathing), get emergency medical care immediately.
Symptoms of Coronavirus:
