Dear Patients,
At this time the world is dealing with the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak. As a clinic we have always had the health and safety of both our patients and staff as our main priority. As I watch schools and businesses close down across the country, I feel it is my duty to close down our offices until further notice. Everyday we see dozens of patients that are at higher risk for getting seriously ill from this illness and we do not want to endanger the health of our patients in anyway. Currently if any patients wish to receive herbs from our clinic please email us and we will find a way to complete the request. We will also continue to have people in office answering phones. If you have any questions you can also call us Monday through Saturday 8:30-5:30. If any patients have traveled outside of the country or state I encourage them to self-quarantine for two weeks, just as I currently am following my trip to France. I want to stress the importance of self-quarantine, regular hand-washing, and contacting your family practitioner if you are experiencing any flu-like symptoms. If we are proactive with the virus rather than reactive we will hopefully be back open sooner rather than later. Thank you so much for your support and understanding and we will see you soon!
目前，世界正在应对 COVID-19爆发的影响。作为诊所，我们始终将患者和员工的健康与安全作为首要任务。当我看着全国各地的学校和企业关门时，我感到有责任关闭我们的办公室，直到另行通知。每天，我们看到数十名患者因这种疾病而患重病的风险更高，而且我们无论如何都不想危害我们患者的健康。目前，如果有任何患者希望从我们的诊所接收草药，请给我们发送电子邮件，我们将找到一种方法来完成请求。如果有任何患者出国旅行，我鼓励他们自我隔离两个星期，就像我刚从荷兰和法国旅行回来一样。我强调进行自我隔离，定期洗手和在遇到流感样症状时与家庭医生联系的重要性。如果我们对病毒具有积极性，而不是反应性，那么我们希望早日恢复开放。非常感谢您的支持和理解，我们将尽快与您见面！
