Due to the Covid-19
pandemic we are now expanding our office hours and availability, but by
appointment only.
We are now open Monday-Friday 8-8 and Saturday
8-4 by APPOINTMENT ONLY.
We are still seeing a limited number of patients and we have reduced our normal patient schedule in order to limit the number of people in our office at any given time. We require everyone to wear a mask and observe social distancing as much as possible. We ask that you not bring family or friends with you unless you require assistance.
If you are sick or have any symptomatology such as fever, cough, sneezing, gastrointestinal issues, shortness of breath, body aches, etc. we ask that you stay at home and consult your primary care doctor by phone. If you have been exposed to Covid-19 but have no symptoms, we also ask that you self-quarantine and postpone your visit.
We wish everyone good health and hope this pandemic is short lived and we can gradually resume normal functioning in the near future.
Best wishes for good health,
The New England eyecare Team

Symptoms
• Mild to severe respiratory illness with fever, cough, and difficulty breathing
• Symptoms may appear in as few as two days or as long as 14 days
Transmission
• Spreads person to person through small droplets from nose or mouth which are spread when a person with COVID-19 coughs or exhales.
• Can catch the virus by touching objects and surfaces that droplets have landed on and then touching their eyes, nose or mouth.
Steps to take to minimize risk
• Wash hand with soap & water for at least 20 seconds
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact with people that are sick.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw away the tissue in trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
• Ensure employees have ample facilities to wash their hands. |

PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY
Covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze with your elbow or a tissue will greatly reduce the number of germs that are able to spread to people and objects around you.
Even if your illness doesn't seem very bad to you, it could be much more serious for someone who catches your germs.
SOCIAL DISTANCING
What Is Social Distancing?
Social distancing is a way to keep people from interacting closely or frequently enough to spread an infectious disease.
Here in the office we're asking you to not sit next to each other to observe Social Distancing.
Everyone reacts differently to stressful situations, please be respectful of others boundaries. |
