Do doctors’ appointments count as essential? Some appointments ― like a medical checkup or perhaps a dental cleaning ― you may be able to postpone, but what about vital screenings or monthly checkups for health conditions?

If it’s a nonessential visit to a doctor or dentist, reschedule it.

For elderly patients or those with significant medical conditions that limit their reserve, the most prudent advice at this time is to call the physician’s office and follow his/her advice. We need to “be responsible” to free up hospital beds and space.

• Don’t go to the doctor’s office or the emergency room without calling ahead.
• The coronavirus is highly contagious, and doctors want to protect themselves and their other patients from infection.
• People who don’t have a doctor should call their local healthcare facilities to discuss symptoms.
