Coronavirus Updates: For Family and Visitors at Coast Plaza Hospital
Your health and well-being are our priority. All infection control policies and procedures have been and will continue to be active throughout the lifespan of the coronavirus and influenza season.
We have implemented several additional policies and procedures to address the coronavirus (COVID-19) health risk within our hospital. We ask for your patience as we continue to implement these policies over the coming weeks and as the situation may evolve.
What We Are Doing:

- Screening patients, support persons, and employees for signs of virus and masking as needed.
- Restricting access to those with signs of virus and/or those that have traveled to high-risk areas in our country and outside of the United States.
- Masking patients with signs of virus and implementing isolation and COVID-19 testing.
- Enhancing hospital sanitation efforts by increasing the number of thorough cleanings.
- Ensuring hand sanitizer is readily available throughout the hospital.
- Closely monitoring hospital supplies and emergency equipment to ensure adequate coverage of patient needs.
- Closely monitoring the advice and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
Educating our employees on preventative measures provided by the CDC.
