Hospital Protocol for COVID Potential Patients

Attention Mesa County Physicians:

In an effort to reduce exposure of COVID-19 to our healthcare workers and other Emergency Department patients, all Mesa County area hospitals are requesting that you refrain from sending patients who you believe could be positive for COVID-19 to the hospital, unless their symptoms require emergency attention.  If symptoms do not fall under emergency criteria and they do not require hospitalization, the patient should be advised to stay home and follow routine protocols for managing cold or flu-like symptoms.

At this point, we do not have additional testing capabilities or interventions for patients with mild to moderate symptoms.

We thank you for your cooperation to help us reduce the spread of COVID-19 and keep our healthcare workers safe.
