STRAITH IS TAKING SEVERAL ACTIONS TO STOP THE SPREAD OF COVID-19

In anticipation of your future visit to Straith Hospital, below is a list of the things we are doing to protect the health and safety of our patients and employees related to COVID-19.

Disinfection: Sanitation and disinfection of high touch surface areas is being done several times throughout the day by highly trained staff, including increased frequency of cleaning common spaces such as waiting rooms, hallways and cafeteria.

Screening: All persons entering the facility, including visitors, staff and physicians, are being screened at the entry point to reduce the risk of COVID-19 exposure.

Limitations: Straith Hospital lobby and waiting areas are formatted to encourage social distancing. We are limiting visitors to one person accompanying patients of surgical and clinical visits, if necessary. All persons entering the building (healthcare personnel, patients and visitors) will be requested to wear a cloth face covering or face mask over their mouth and nose during the duration of their stay in the Hospital, regardless of symptoms.
