                COVID-19 Visitor Guidelines

                March 18, 2020

                KMC COVID-19 GUIDELINES

                If you have symptoms such as cough, fever, chills, running nose, sore throat, diarrhea, vomiting or muscle aches, you could have a virus. This virus COULD BE COVID-19.

                While your symptoms could be the cause of many viruses or illnesses, the following precautions must be maintained until you receive your results:

                • Stay home unless your symptoms are emergent: difficulty breathing, chest pain, unable to eat/drink, severe vomiting or weakness.
                • As advised by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), we recommend you stay in your home and have limited contact with others to prevent spreading this infection.
                • The elderly or those with significant medical issues are at high risk of complications from this infection. We recommend you stay away from these populations for the next two weeks.
                • Limit times outside of your house – do NOT go to school, work, or public areas.
                • Separate yourself from others in your home.
                • Use a different bathroom if possible and do not share household items like dishes, glasses, cups, forks, spoons, or towels.
                • Clean counters, tabletops, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, toilets, phones, keyboards, tablets, and bedside tables often.
                • Clean your hands often for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water is not available, use hand sanitizer
                • COVER your cough and sneezes
                • Throw used tissues in a lined trashcan and wash your hands right away.
                • If you need to seek a healthcare facility:
                  • Put on a facemask upon entering.
                  • If an ambulance is needed, ask that they apply a facemask upon arrival.

                COVID-19 Results:

                • Most likely results will not be available for 3-5 days
                • If positive, you will be contact by either a Kirby Medical Center healthcare employee or the Public Health Department
                • Please Do Not Contact the Emergency Department for results.

                If you need to seek medical attention or have questions regarding your care:

                • Contact Kirby Medical Group at 217-762-6241 Option 2
                • Avoid showing up at a healthcare facility without a plan in place if possible.
                • If you have emergent needs, please dial 911.
