General statement from Hospice of Lubbock
With the continuing spread of COVID-19 within the U.S., our health system
is working closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), as well as state and local health authorities, to provide continuing
care for our patients while taking steps to limit person-to-person spread
within our communities.
To that end, necessary precautionary measures have been taken affecting
our staff, volunteers and patients, all based on prudent, cautious intervention
and social distancing (less exposure to multiple people).
These include:
These procedures are in place until further notice, and we will continue
to monitor and adjust as needed. Thank you for your flexibility and patience.
All we do at Hospice of Lubbock is in the best interests of our patients,
staff and volunteers as they are our top priority.
How to protect yourself:
You can protect yourself from COVID-19 infection the same ways you protect
against the common cold or seasonal flu:
-
Wash your hands frequently for at least 20 seconds.
-
Before eating
-
When your hands are visibly soiled
-
After you have used the bathroom, been in public or blown your nose, coughed
or sneezed
-
Use hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol, if soap and
water aren’t available.
-
Cover your cough and sneeze with a tissue, and throw your used tissues
in the trash.
-
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
-
Stay home when you are sick.
-
Put some distance between yourself and others, especially if:
-
Someone near you is sick
-
You are at a higher risk of serious illness
-
Disinfect surfaces, buttons, handles, knobs, and other places touched often.
If you feel sick:
There are several things you should do if you are sick or think you may
have been exposed to COVID-19, and have a fever or respiratory illness
(cough or shortness of breath):
-
Stay home if you are sick or believe you have been exposed to the virus,
even if you aren’t showing any symptoms.
-
Avoid public areas and transportation.
-
Call your health care provider before coming into the doctor’s office
or emergency department.
-
Avoid coming to the emergency department, unless you have a health emergency
and/or you have been advised by your health care provider to do so. This
helps prevent the risk of spreading COVID-19 infection.
-
Separate yourself from other people and animals as much as possible, while
you are sick.
-
Wear a face mask, if you are sick.
-
Monitor yourself for fever, coughing and shortness of breath.
-
Take the same precautions you would if you had the common cold or flu (e.g.,
wash your hands frequently).
