The state's Shelter At Home order has brought changes to all walks of life, including the medical treatment of pets.  

Covenant Animal Clinic in Clinton is open to see patients, however they have announced changes to their operating procedures.  Dr. Sue Sterr notes they are asking non-emergent appointments to reschedule.  She says those customers with pets that need to be seen will be met in the parking lot.

There has been some misinformation circulating surrounding the novel corona virus, and the potential transmission between humans and animals.  Dr. Sterr says there's been no proof of any of those claims.

For those needing medical supplies or other items for their pets, Dr. Sterr reminds their customers of their online store.  You can find it, and the latest updates on the clinic's operating procedures at Covenant Animal Clinic IL (dot) com.
