5 Ways We’re Keeping You Safe During COVID-19
Precautions in place at UCSF Health
-
Telehealth
We've expanded our time for telehealth appointments, so that our providers can see patients online for primary care, follow-up visits, mental health services, pain management, medication monitoring and many other issues.
-
Prescreening and testing
All patients who need to come to UCSF are prescreened – and in some cases, tested – for COVID-19. All employees and visitors entering our hospitals and clinics are screened for symptoms.
-
Masking and physical distancing
We've implemented physical distancing to ensure a 6-foot distance from others. We also require everyone in a UCSF facility to wear a face covering at all times, and we distribute masks upon entry, if needed.
-
Isolation of COVID-19 patients and staff
We're using separate entrances, care teams and respiratory units for COVID-19 patients, both those who are hospitalized and those being evaluated. By isolating COVID-19 patients and medical staff, we help protect everyone's health.
-
Cleaning and disinfection
Our hospitals and clinics are cleaned and disinfected rigorously, in accordance with the infection prevention guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
