Covid-19
(Coronavirus) UPDATE
Please note this is an emergent, rapidly evolving situation.
We wanted to reach out and let you know how we are handling Coronavirus (COVID-19) at Main Line Foot & Ankle Center. As always, our main priority is to ensure the health and safety of our patients and staff.
We are taking every precaution possible, conducting extra cleanings of waiting areas, exam rooms, and frequently touched surfaces.
We have implemented screening measures to ensure that patients that are at high risk for Coronavirus (COVID-19) are postponing appointments.
If you’re not feeling well or are still recovering from an illness, we ask that you reschedule your appointment.
If you have been out of the country (including cruise ships) within 14 days of your appointment, we are asking you to reschedule

PREVENTION
The World Health Organization (WHO) advises the following prevention methods:
- Wash Hands Frequently
Use soap and water for visibly dirty hands or an alcohol-based hand rub frequently for non-visibly dirty hands. - Practice Respiratory Hygiene
When coughing and sneezing, cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue – discard tissue immediately into a closed bin and clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water. - Maintain Social Distancing
Maintain at least 6 feet distance between yourself and other people, particularly those who are coughing, sneezing and have a fever. If you are too close, you can breathe in the virus. - Avoid Touching Eyes, Nose & Mouth
Hands touch many surfaces which can be contaminated with the virus. If you touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your contaminated hands, you can transfer the virus from the surface to yourself. - Seek Medical Care Early
If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early and tell your health care provider if you have traveled abroad, or if you have been in close contact with someone with who has. - Mild Symptoms
If you have mild respiratory symptoms and no travel history, still seek medical care and be sure to carefully practice basic respiratory and hand hygiene and stay home until you are recovered, if possible.
