Covid-19 : Seek help right away if you feel ill.

JMS would like to draw your attention to the importance of self-awareness and appropriate health seeking behavior as we face the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Kindly take note of the following simple measures to assist you in addressing any health concerns in a timely manner:

Closely Observe your health:

We strongly recommend that that you remain alert and observe your health for possible COVID-19 symptoms such as:

• Fever
• Cough
• Shortness of breath
• Sore throat
• Flu-like symptoms
• Body aches

Do not self-medicate while ignoring persistent symptoms that need to be properly evaluated by a medical practitioner.

Communicate:

• If you do fall sick, practice self-isolation. It is however imperative that you inform JMS about your condition by calling our 24hr number 0724 255 378. You will be guided on possible testing, referral or appropriate treatment.
• Keep a record of emergency contacts that you can use if you need to reach someone urgently.
• If you live alone, let your colleague or friend know about your emergency contacts and physical location.

Connect:

• Keep in touch with your loved ones or colleagues by phone or online. Inform them of any health concerns you may have.
• Connecting with friends, family or colleagues will also have mental health benefits during this period when we are all subject to restrictions in our usual activities.

Keep Safe and Healthy!
