As state and local government officials issue orders to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, veterinary clinics must comply with these government orders while continuing to practice quality medicine. In this episode, TVMA General Counsel and Director of Government Relations Elizabeth Choate, JD, helps you better understand how the orders apply to you and your practice. She examines issues like whether veterinary clinics are designated as essential businesses and provides recommendations for veterinary clinics.
