For most people, the new coronavirus causes
mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and
cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For
some, especially older adults and people with
existing health problems, it can cause more
severe illness, including pneumonia and death.
The Clarkston Group, which serves about 35,000
patients, is currently open for essential visits.
Patients suspected of contracting COVID-19,
the illness caused by the new virus, do an initial
virtual visit and then get tested at the door.
“Our office is fever-free, sickness-free,” he said.
“And the sick people we have to see, we see in
their cars in the parking lot.”
