Safety Is Our Priority
UConn Health has enacted extra precautions and guidelines to maintain the highest level of safety for our patients, visitors, and employees. Some of these measures include:
- Symptom screening for patients and visitors, and policies requiring all employees, students, and trainees to self-monitor for symptoms and remain home if they have COVID-related symptoms.
- Required masking in inpatient and Emergency Room areas where patients are present.
- Thoroughly cleaning exam rooms pre- and post-patient visit.
- Ensuring all our staff and providers wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow CDC guidelines.
