To keep our staff, patients, and shared community as healthy as possible during this pandemic, Prime Care Family Practice has implemented the wearing of masks and practicing physical (social) distancing to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
POLICY:
- Masking requirements apply to all Prime Care Family Practice employees, visitors, and patients over the age of 2.
- While in our office, all employees, patients and visitors must wear a mask and maintain six feet of physical distance.
- Physical distancing is defined as maintaining six feet of physical space between individuals.
- Visitor and patient waiting areas are configured to meet physical distancing space requirements.
- In the event volumes are high within patient waiting areas and physical distancing recommendations cannot be maintained, patients will be asked to wait in their vehicles.
- Masking is not a substitute for physical distancing recommendations.
MASKING REQUIREMENTS:
Masks will be worn appropriately and completely cover the nose and mouth. Surgical (ear loop) style masks or cloth/textile masks are acceptable. Patients and visitors will be provided masks upon entry to the office if they are not wearing one.
Masks will be worn upon entry and until exited from the building.
Masks are to be worn for the entire duration of the visit. Physical distancing should also be maintained.
We recognize that some patients may not tolerate wearing a mask. Those special patient populations and conditions may include respiratory compromised patients, special needs patients, etc. Please notify us prior to your appointment if you fall into one of these categories.
