Since the Coronavirus (COVID-19) is beginning to spread around the U.S., hospitals are taking precaution to prevent it from spreading.

Spectrum Health announced that that they will be offering free virtual screenings for anyone who suspects that they may have the virus.

This allows people in Michigan to seek the information they need from their homes, while making it easy and convenient for them.

If you believe you have COVID-19 symptoms you should call 616.391.2380 to schedule your virtual appointment. You don't need to be a patient of Spectrum, just a Michigan resident to receive the free service.

According to Spectrum, they received "dozens of calls" in the first two days since launching the hotline.
