- Patients undergoing outpatient procedures (lab, radiology, sleep center, etc.) will not be allowed to have visitors/caregivers accompany them unless the patient requires assistance with mobility, special needs, or is 18 years of age or younger.
- All visitors must check in at the nurse’s desk on the floor where the patient is located, upon arrival.
- Outpatient surgery patients will only be COVID-19 tested if the surgeon orders the test. Otherwise, appropriate precautions are being taken (no change from the current practice).
