Sydney Martin was at Huntsville City Hall after asking a local hospital leader about how they are handling the changes to the CDC coronavirus guidelines.
Currently in quarantine.
Today - the c-d-c director said his agency is committed to sharing the most up to date information on coronavirus - even though that means modifying public health recommendations.
With the guidelines changing almost daily on some issues - we asked how you should know what information to trust and listen to.
Waay 31's sydney martn is live outside huntsville city hall tonight- after asking a local hospital leader about how they manage the changes..
Today at city hall today- crestwood hospital c-e-o doctor pam hudson told me- she knows the changes are confusing - but the weekly news conferences that the city holds here - along with what your own doctor tells you should be the advice you listen to when it comes to stopping the spread of coronavirus.
Dr. pam hudson, crestwood hospital ceo "i was just listening to the cdc talk a little bit about their somewhat confusing recommendation s over the last few weeks and part of it was driven as i heard today by concern that people assumed if they were tested and it was negative they were okay to go to work or school or be out in public."
Crestwood hospital c-e-o doctor pam hudson said she knows there's confusion with c-d-c guidelines when it comes to coronavirus.
But she said social distancing, wearing a mask and santizing are the messages health officials have maintained throughout the pandemic.
Dr. pam hudson, crestwood hospital ceo "there has really not been a material change.
I think something that our physicians are well qualified to do is to understand what is nuance what is interpretation, but the facts and what we do really has not changed materially."
Hudson told me she believes the precautions already in place are working.
Dr. pam hudson, crestwood hospital ceo "clearly what we are doing in this community is working.
We are going to come up with something for this community that is going to work for this community and it may be more than what the guidance is from adph or cdc etc.
It's what fits for this community and to keep this community safe."
And she said she doesn't believe anything major will change with the local coronavirs response anytime soon.
Dr. pam hudson, crestwood hospital ceo "it's important to chart our course and stay the course until we are absolutely certain when somebody puts out a recommendation.
Ask questions about it.
See how it fits into the greater context."
