COVID-19 RESOURCES DIRECTORY
With multiple cities and school districts in HD-65, resources are available across our community to keep you informed, calm, and ready to respond to the COVID-19 virus crisis. Remember, if you are demonstrating symptoms of the virus (fever, dry cough), you should call your healthcare provider first; do not go in person to a specific facility, as they may not be able to test you and you risk exposing others.
Remember that there are no known therapeutic treatments for COVID-19. Be wary of anyone promising a treatment or solution for sale that can prevent or cure this virus.
