Frequently asked questions

What is COVID-19?

COVID-19, also known as the coronavirus, is a new respiratory disease thought to spread mainly from person-to-person.

What are the symptoms of COVID-19?

Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure and can include fever, cough, loss of taste or smell, headache, fatigue, aches and shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.

Who is at risk for COVID-19?

Currently, those at greatest risk of infection are persons who have had prolonged, unprotected close contact with a symptomatic, confirmed COVID-19 patient.

When and how is someone infectious?

The onset and period of infectiousness for COVID-19 are not yet known. Current study suggests that the incubation period may range from 2–14 days. The virus is now spreading from person-to-person, between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet) and through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, sings, talks, or breathes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.

What precautions should I be taking?

Stay home when you feel sick and avoid close contact with others who are sick.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Avoid touching your face, eyes, nose or mouth, because this is where viruses can enter.
Always cover a cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw that tissue in the trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects.
Wear a face covering over your nose and mouth.
Remain six feet away from other.

Are the symptoms of COVID-19 different in children than in adults?

No, the symptoms of COVID-19 are similar in children and adults. However, children with confirmed COVID-19 have generally presented with mild symptoms similar to a cold, including fever, runny nose and cough. Vomiting and diarrhea have also been reported. Based on available evidence, children do not appear to be at any higher risk or more susceptible to COVID-19 than adults. While some children and infants have been sick with COVID-19, infections in children are less common and adults make up most of the known cases to date.

How can I get tested for COVID-19?

Check with your local health department for testing locations and criteria.

What are your facilities doing to prepare and treat patients?

Our facilities deal with communicable diseases on a daily basis and we will continue to take precautionary measures as we always have. We have strong protocols in place and are following all guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to ensure a safe environment.

Screening processes in place for all patients, visitors and clinicians before entering facilities.
Separate care locations for COVID-19 positive patients and those under investigation, who are masked and escorted to designated locations. Non-COVID-19 patients, including those receiving outpatient care or undergoing scheduled procedures, are treated in separate areas and assigned caregivers who are not concurrently caring for COVID-19 positive patients.
Universal masking required throughout our facilities, which exceeds CDC guidelines.
Heightened infection prevention policies, including the removal of high-touch items such as magazines, toys and vending machines from our facilities.
Food and drinks prohibited in clinical units to prevent the spread of illness.
Updated visitor policies, including limitations, which have been in place for the duration of the pandemic, remain in place across our facilities.
Our Emergency Operations Center (EOC) has been activated to coordinate daily communication and response across all of our hospitals.

Is it safe to go to the hospital?

Our facilities are safe places to seek care, no matter what your health need. Since well before the declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic, our facilities have taken measures to create a safe environment. Now, as ever, we have strong protocols in place and are following all guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Along with many other precautions, we have been proactive and ready with all supplies related to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including masks, gowns and any resources necessary for precautionary isolation of symptomatic patients. The safety of our patients is and always has been our first priority and we will continue to provide safe, effective, patient-centered care.
