Health protocols require us to practice social distancing to keep ourselves from contracting the coronavirus. However, we should avoid MEDICAL DISTANCING or refraining from seeing doctors and going to hospitals for medical attention. Not addressing or even delaying healthcare needs increases the risk of developing complications, especially for medical conditions that need monitoring and treatment and if present symptoms need urgent medical attention.

YES. DLSUMC is safe and ready for the NEW NORMAL. It is safe to visit DLSUMC because infection prevention and safety protocols are strictly implemented in the hospital such as:

• Screening for COVID-19 symptoms. Patients, visitors and employees accomplish health declaration forms and undergo thermal scanning at hospital entry points.
• Mandatory wearing of PPE. Everyone is required to properly wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) before entering and while inside the hospital premises.
• Physical distancing. Markers and signages are in place to properly implement safe distancing in queues, waiting areas and elevators.
• Separate emergency room for non-COVID-19 cases. The Urgent Care Clinics serve as consultation area for non-COVID-19 emergency and charity outpatients.
• Dedicated facilities and machines for COVID-19 cases. There are designated inpatient units, facilities and equipment for managing COVID-19 cases.
• Scheduling of consultations and tests. Medical consultations and diagnostic examinations are scheduled to lessen or avoid waiting time and crowding in lounges.
• Proper disinfection. Medical equipment, facilities and high-touch areas are regularly cleaned and disinfected.

To ensure everyone's health and safety, proper wearing of basic PPE is required upon entry and while inside hospital premises. These are the types of face masks and face shields recommended by the DLSUMC Infection Prevention and Control Office:

• Surgical mask
• Cloth face mask
• N95 mask
• KN95 mask
• Clear full face shields

Patients, visitors and employees wearing these will not be allowed to enter the hospital:

• Masks with valves, vents or holes
• Masks with slit
• Half face shield (tinted and not tinted)
• Tinted full face shield
