Specializes in Psychiatry

COVID contacts: Were the other individuals wearing masks? That is important. By keeping distance, do you mean over 6 feet apart? Person appear ill at the time? In poorly ventilated, crowded tight space? Obviously contact was for over 10 minutes? If someone who is infected coughs or sneezes right at you, you can become infected. I am a psychiatrist. At least for now, I am doing the majority of care via telemed.
