CORONAVIRUS 2019 (COVID-19)

Wherever it is safe to do so, our offices remain open to help reduce the strain on the hospital system and assist those whose essential job functions may be impacted by musculoskeletal injuries. To keep everyone safe, we are taking all the necessary precautions.

First, from the perspective of ensuring sanitary and thoroughly disinfected treatment areas, please note the following:

• We use medical grade cleaners and disinfectants between each and every patient.
• Any and all linens or towels are disposed of or sanitized after every use.
• Treatment tables are disinfected thoroughly between each and every patient.
• Active care equipment, tablets, and all surfaces in the treatment rooms are disinfected after each patient.
• Team members are washing their hands with soap and water between each patient.
• Treatment Team members are happy to clean any items again in front of the patient at the patient’s request.

Additionally, the CDC recently issued a recommendation for the wearing of face protection: “CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.”  All Airrosti treatment members are following this to protect our Treatment Team members and patients.  All patients are required to wear face protection to each appointment.

We also encourage our patients and others to follow some simple additional guidelines from the CDC, which serve as helpful tips:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
• If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then immediately throw it away.
• Avoid contact with people who are sick.

As an additional safeguard, we are connecting with each patient prior to their appointment to confirm they are not sick and have not been exposed to any circumstances that would warrant self-quarantine.  We are following the CDC guidelines for social distancing when possible, so Airrosti will no longer allow additional attendees to observe in-office patient treatment or wait in the lobby of our practices.

We are happy to help you reschedule any upcoming appointments if you feel sick, or if you have a fever or cough.  In that circumstance, and especially if you have a fever of 100 degrees or higher and/or believe you may have been exposed to coronavirus, please always (and as a first priority) contact your primary care physician for direct help and treatment options before you visit us at Airrosti.
