Centra Health Guidelines for COVID-19: Student Protocols ? All students must pass through COVID-19 screening and temperature checkpoints DAILY before entering a Centra hospital or ambulatory clinic. If they answer “yes” to any of the screening questions or have a Temp equal to or greater than 100.4, they will not be allowed to enter the campus, and will call HealthWorks immediately (Sherrie Cheryba, 434-200-6939). If seriously ill, they will be referred to the emergency room. Refer to HealthWorks Notification document for step by step guide.Students will NOT see COVID-19 positive patients or patients suspected of having COVID-19. Students will not see patients in the COVID-19 ICU, COVID-19 Units or long-term care facilities. All students will be given surgical masks. They should wear their cloth masks in Centra buildings until they are given a surgical mask from their preceptor or site administrator. They will observe social distancing in all areas of our hospitals and clinics. Masks must be covering nose and mouth at all times, including upon entering the facilities. Students may also receive face shields for eye protection with patient facing encounters. If patient has on a mask, the student’s eyes are protected. If the patient does not have on a mask, students should wear eye protection, face shield or goggles, in addition to a mask. Students will closely monitor their symptoms and will be encouraged to report even mild symptoms while on rotations. If they become ill, they must leave the premises and contact Sherrie Cheryba immediately at HealthWorks (If seriously ill, they will be referred to the emergency room). Refer to HealthWorks Notification document for step by step guide.All students must review the HealthWorks Notification System Protocol document. These notification requirements are outlined for students who develop symptoms related to COVID-19, incidentally come into contact with a positive COVID-19 patient or have tested positive for COVID-19. In what circumstances do students need to notify Healthworks if symptoms develop? The student is currently completing clinical rotations at Centra when symptoms of COVID-19 first appear. The student completed a clinical rotation at Centra. However, 1-2 days after completion, COVID-19 symptoms developed. Students will see low risk patients to foster their safety and preserve PPE. Students rotating through any emergency department, birth center and/or Respiratory Therapy unit will be fitted for N-95 masks and receive face shields. Additional fit testing may occur for department specific requirements.All students are expected to have signed an Acknowledgement of Risk statement provided by their schools as required by the Office of the Governor memorandum, May 26, 2020. These statements will be kept by the schools and made available to Centra upon request. ................
