Dear SPA members, patients, and families,
As the COVID-19 crisis escalates in the US and around the world, the SPA urges members to follow common sense precautions that are highlighted on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website. The CDC website offers advice to communities and individuals to prevent illness as well as to deal with the onset of any symptoms suggestive of a respiratory illness that may be COVID 19.
We have elected to provide you with web and social media links that are continuously updated with the latest information from professional organizations, and a few useful sites are listed below.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Kirk Lalwani, MBBS, FRCA, MCR
President, SPA
