Due to the widespread availability of Covid testing, vaccines, and treatments, as well as the end of the public health emergency, we are changing some procedures in our office.

 

Masks:

 

Beginning May 12, most patients and families will not need to wear a mask in our office. However, you do still need to wear a mask if you have: 

 

• A fever or other flu-like symptoms 

• A known COVID-19 infection and are in isolation.

• A known exposure to COVID-19 within the last 10 days

 

Individuals who prefer to wear a mask while in our office, regardless of their symptoms or exposures, are welcome to. 

 

Please note that the Department of public health is continuing to track COVID-19 in the community, and masks may become required again in our office if there is an increase in respiratory illnesses. For the safety of our patients and staff, we ask that you respect this request.

​

Screening:

Beginning on Tuesday, May 16th we will no longer be asking screening questions before a visit. 

 

However, please let us know if you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 in the last 10 days or have any of these symptoms; fever, chills, body aches, fatigue, cough, difficulty breathing, sore throat, congestion, runny nose, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, or loss of taste or smell.

 

We will no longer require universal masking for our staff, but if you feel more comfortable with your provider wearing a mask during your encounter, please feel free to ask any staff member to don a mask. 

 

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we have made our way through many changes throughout the pandemic.
