Michi Yukawa Interviewed in a San Francisco Examiner Article

Michi Yukawa, MD was interviewed and quoted in a San Francisco Examiner article entitled, "Worried residents hoping to get tested for coronavirus may have to wait".

View excerpt below:

If you’re sick, you have to use your own judgment,” Yukawa said about such individuals. “If you normally wouldn’t go to an emergency room if this virus wasn’t going around, don’t go to the emergency room.”

For those who have come in contact with someone from an affected country, Yukawa advised staying home and self-quarantining. She also suggested the same as local and state officials: taking preventative measures, like minimizing contact with others, washing hands frequently, not touching the face and avoiding exposure to others — recommendations also advised by local and state officials.

“There’s no cure and nothing we can do for the virus,” she said. “It’s just symptom management. Unless they’re very, very sick and they need to be seen by a doctor.”
