A Letter from Our Leadership
Please read the letter below for an update from our executive director Steve Knutson on how Neighborhood HealthSource is working hard to keep patients safe and provide much-needed healthcare services to our communities during this difficult time.
What to do if you are sick with COVID-19, or suspect you are infected
Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, and shortness of breath, among many others. For a full list of symptoms, please visit the Center for Disease Control’s website. If you are displaying any ill symptoms, please:
- Stay at home except to get medical care. Do not go to work, school, or public areas. This includes public transportation.
- Separate yourself from people and animals in your home. Avoid physical contact and closeness with others.
*Note: Not all cases of COVID-19 show all known symptoms, or any symptoms. If you have any one symptom by itself or any combination of symptoms, please take the appropriate precautions listed here.
COVID-19 Testing at NHS
NHS offers at-home Covid-19 tests available for patients. If you are in need of Covid-19 tests please call 612-588-9411 and press 5 to speak to a community health educator.
Preventing the spread of COVID-19
There are simple yet effective ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19 if you test positive
- Get vaccinated against COVID-19
- Cover coughs and sneezes
- Practice social distancing techniques (avoid shaking hands or other forms of direct contact with others to limit potential spread, stay 6 feet away from others in public spaces, do not attend any gatherings or public spaces if possible)
- If you come to the clinic for an appointment, you will be required to wear a mask to help protect our staff and other patients
People ages 65+: Older adults are often more severely affected by COVID-19 and should therefore take extra precautions.
People with underlying conditions: People with chronic health conditions and people with compromised immune systems are more likely to be severely affected by COVID-19. Underlying conditions include diabetes, high blood pressure, and asthma, among others.
