If You Have Symptoms
All patients (whether or not they have been tested for COVID-19) that are experiencing symptoms of cough, fever or shortness of breath will be asked to self-isolate for at least 7-10 days after the onset of symptoms.
-
We will screen every patient and visitor at check-in to identify and limit potential exposure to COVID-19 in our practices. Screening involves providing health checks and answering a few questions.
-
Universal masking is one of the best ways to limit transmission of the virus. With that in mind, everyone — including patients, visitors and staff — is required to wear a mask while in the practice. We will provide you a mask at check-in. Bandanas, gaiters and masks with valves are prohibited; visitors with those masks will be asked to replace them with a Texas Health issued mask.
-
Reconfigured seating areas to allow for safe distancing. Patients are asked to sit with their accompanied visitor.
-
Patient exam rooms are disinfected between every patient. Waiting rooms, bathrooms, chairs, door knobs and other surface areas are cleaned throughout the day.
-
Increased hand hygiene practices for patients, visitors and staff. Hand sanitizer is available throughout the practice.
-
Staff self-monitor for symptoms including temperature checks; symptomatic caregivers must stay home.
-
Virtual visits are another option for receiving quality care. Virtual visits can be used for allergies, cold, cough, migraines, seasonal flu, rash, stomachache and more.
- You are experiencing symptoms and are in a high-risk group
- You are experiencing symptoms and have had close contact with an individual who is confirmed to have COVID-19
- OR you are experiencing significant symptoms
