COVID-19 and Respiratory Illness Safety Measures

Respiratory viruses commonly cause illness such as the flu, COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus, (RSV) especially in the fall and winter. The Center closely follows the current level of respiratory illness in Sussex County and adjusts our safety measures to protect you, other patients, and staff from getting sick. Depending on the local level of respiratory illness, we may require screening of patients and visitors, wearing of masks, and may limit visitation. The current COVID Hospital Admission Level and Respiratory Illness Activity Level is posted at the entrance to the Center along with our current safety guidelines. These guidelines will be explained to patients during their pre-procedure call. We kindly ask that you observe these guidelines. All patients with respiratory symptoms including a fever, cough or sore throat, or a positive risk assessment for illness will be asked to postpone their visit. All persons will be asked to hand sanitize prior to entering our patient care area. Our staff is also following the same precautions in addition to disinfecting surfaces and equipment after each patient and daily disinfection of high-touch surfaces throughout the Center. We ask that you please notify us prior to coming to the Center if you are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 or other illness, or have potentially been exposed to or tested positive for COVID-19 or other respiratory illness. Thank you for your cooperation. Please go to Patient Health Information tab and click on Disease Management for more information.
