Visitor Restrictions Due to COVID-19

Visitor Screening

To protect everyone on our campus from the spread of COVID-19, we enacted a strict visitor screening and visitation policy.

Visitors entering Sibley will be asked to sign in and respond to the following screening questions:

• Do you have fever, cough, shortness of breath, muscle aches, sore throat, unexplained loss of taste or smell, headache or diarrhea?
• Have you had close contact with someone who has COVID-19?
• Visitors who answer yes to any of the screening questions will be asked to leave the facility.
• Individuals who answer yes to any of the screening questions but who have a scheduled appointment or are seeking emergency care will be allowed to enter the facility. They will be asked to put on a face mask before entering.
• Those accompanying patients for an appointment will not be permitted to enter if they have a fever, cough, shortness of breath or have had close contact with someone who has COVID-19.
• Upon entering the facility as well as entering and exiting patient rooms, individuals will be asked to hand wash or use hand-sanitizing gel.
• Please plan to arrive early for your appointment to allow time to complete the screening process.
