The CDC has updated its guidance on exposure to COVID and isolation. It may be a little more confusing with children. Please see the attached diagram. Call us if you still have questions on what to do! East Bay Pediatrics does offer testing; we require a visit with a physician so that you get personalized instruction regarding isolation, masking, and testing. Please continue to be safe, wear your mask and avoid large gatherings. COVID is once again spreading quickly and we hope all of our families stay safe and healthy for the New Year. |
Congratulations on your retirement Dr. Abbott! We will miss you at East Bay Pediatrics. If you are a patient of Dr. Abbott, we are happy to continue to care for you with any of our other physicians.
