The COVID-19 Safety Precautions We’re Taking at Our Urgent Care Center in Tampa, FL
Amid the current COVID-19 pandemic, everyone is encouraged to practice social distancing as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Of course, as you take reasonable precautions against the spread of the novel coronavirus, you may still be working and going about your other day-to-day activities. As your life goes on, so does the possibility that you may need non-emergency urgent care services at some point.
So, what should you do if you need medical attention for a non-life-threatening illness or injury, such as a sore throat, urinary tract infection, or sprained ankle? The team at South Tampa Immediate Care in Tampa, Florida, wants you to know that we are ready to help—and you can rest assured that we will do everything possible to protect your health.
