The Lebanon Health Assembly Medical Hotline

​518-545-4904 (call or text)

​The medical hotline is run by the Lebanon Health Assembly and is a free service for people in our community.  It is volunteer-run by local health professionals, but is not meant to replace 911 or offer emergency services.  Please read through the information  about COVID-19 symptoms, testing, symptoms, masks, etc.  If you have questions or concerns that aren't answered or questions about whether or not you should seek medical care, please call us!  (The advice should not be considered medical advice but rather informed guidance to navigate the current crisis; please refer to your primary care doctor or other health institutions for formal guidance.)

 Prevent the spread of germs when caring for someone who is sick

  • Have the person stay in one room, away from other people, including yourself, as much as possible.
    • If possible, have them use a separate bathroom.
  • Avoid sharing personal household items, like dishes, towels, and bedding
  • If face masks are available, have them wear a face mask when they are around people, including you. 
  • It the sick person can’t wear a face mask, you should wear one while in the same room with them, if face masks are available.
  • If the sick person needs to be around others (within the home, in a vehicle, or doctor’s office), they should wear a face mask.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after interacting with the sick person. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Every day, clean all surfaces that are touched often, like counters, tabletops, and doorknobs
  • Use household cleaning sprays or wipes according to the label instructions.
  • Wash laundry thoroughly.
  • If laundry is soiled, wear disposable gloves and keep the soiled items away from your body while laundering. Wash your hands immediately after removing gloves.
  • Avoid having any unnecessary visitors.
