ProHealth Medical Group clinics allow two family members or friends to accompany patients. Those accompanying a patient must be 18 or older and wear a mask at all times.
Anyone who is feeling unwell should not visit a hospital or other health care facility unless it is to seek care.
The continuing decline in the number of COVID-19 cases reflects not only the rising number of vaccinated people but also the precautions that have been proven to slow the spread of the virus — wearing a mask, social distancing and hand washing.
