Visitor Restrictions
The safety of our visitors, patients, employees, and physicians remains our highest priority. CHI ST. Alexius Health is closely monitoring all developments with COVID-19 and we are prepared to identify, isolate and treat any potential patient who seeks care at our facilities.
Visitors to a patient care facility must be provided with a hospital-approved facemask. In other words, any person who enters a hospital, clinic or other patient care setting must wear a simple procedural mask provided by CHI Health St. Alexius.
Precautions
Safety Precautions for Elective Surgeries
Remember to take everyday preventive actions that are always recommended to prevent the spread of respiratory viruses.
- Avoid close contact with sick people.
- While sick, limit contact with others as much as possible.
- Stay home if you are sick.
- Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands; germs spread this way.
- Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol based hand rub with at least 60% alcohol.
