Body Wisdom Pilates & Rehab – Statement on Covid-19

As of 12-7-22 – To be updated regularly (every two weeks or more if needed)

We at Body Wisdom Pilates & Rehab believe:

1. The SARS-CoV-2 virus, that causes Covid-19, continues to have large community transmission across the United States and here in our communities in Northeastern Oklahoma. There are new variants of concern showing up, causing new illnesses and re-infection.
2. There are still an average of 300+ deaths a DAY from Covid-19 in this country alone. That makes Covid-19 the 4TH leading cause of death in the United States!
3. The coronavirus in not done with us, even though most of us are done with it.
4. The need to stay mindful and respectful of this virus, as well as the need to think of its impact on others is not done.
5. Being health care providers, it is in our hearts and nature to think first of those around us, to protect our clients, patients, families and those most vulnerable amoung us.
6. We believe that vaccination for Covid-19, with all elible and recommended vaccinations for your age and immune status,  is a critical action we can all take, to bring an end to this pandemic.  It is the best tool we have RIGHT NOW to prevent severe illness/disease, hospitalization and death. We recognize that the vaccines are not perfect, but they are an incredible tool that we can use right now.
7. This is an ever-evolving situation. We are committed to being mindful, staying up to date with the latest information and listening to true experts to discern the state of this pandemic.
8. Please join me in following along on this evolving situation with my favorite true and authentic resources on the Covid-19 pandemic:
• The Center for Infectious Disease and Policy: www.cidrap.unm.edu
• A Podcast on the Covid-19 Pandemic with Dr. Micheal Osterholm: The Osterholm Update – Covid-19.
