Updated Office Procedure for In-Person Visits 4/11/2021

 

The health and safety of our patients and team is our top priority. We are constantly being updated by the Center for Disease Control and Department of health on how to maintain health and safety while providing direct patient care.

Our office will continue to restrict visitors, but our doors are open. We do ask screening questions of our patients and visitors.

Key Questions will be asked, temperature checked and mask provided if the patient does not have one. All must wear a mask while inside the office.

Visitor Policy

To maintain safety and limit occupancy, all visitors (with some exceptions) accompanying a patient are prohibited from entering our facility. Exceptions to this policy are:

• Parents of underage children
• Caregivers of elderly patients
• Guardians of disabled adults

Update on Covid 19 Recommendations:

Associates in Primary Care recommends a covid vaccine to all of our patients. We are following guidelines and recommendations from the CDC and Vermont Department of Health.

Healthvermont.gov and cdc.gov are reliable resources.

TRAVEL: Unvaccinated Vermonters who have traveled outside the state must be tested within 3 days of returning to Vermont. See other new travel guidance.

PREVENTION TIPS:

• Stay home if you are sick
• Wash your hands
• Limit the number of people you are in close contact with; lowers your risk of being exposed to and spreading COVID-19.
• Keep your social circle small until enough people are vaccinated and COVID-19 is no longer a threat to public health.
• Stay at least 6 feet apart.
• Wear a mask.
