Dr. Ali Khan to tackle residents’ COVID-19 questions Friday

BUCKHANNON — If you’ve got questions about COVID-19, one local doctor says he has answers.

Dr. Ali Khan will host a special live edition of ‘Coffee, Anyone?’ where people can submit their questions about coronavirus and the disease it causes, COVID-19.

To participate, log onto the official ‘Coffee, Anyone?’ Facebook page, and the live Q&A will begin at 6 p.m. Friday, July 10.

The purpose of the question-and-answer session is to help people with anxiety surrounding the pandemic, Khan said.

“People can ask their own questions and get an answer from a Buckhannon physician,” Khan said. “I know a lot of people are scared, but my hope is that this will help soothe a lot of people’s anxiety. We also want people to have more awareness and knowledge about the infection. We want people to join in and get all their questions answered and informed, so they can make informed decisions.”

‘Coffee, Anyone?’ is owned by Asadkhanmedia LLC.
