CORONAVIRUS [COVID-19] PRACTICE CHANGES
In alignment with CDC's social distancing guidelines I will be making the following changes to my perinatal care. For home visits, a negative COVID will be required for all household members. If any one in the household has a COVID exposure, symptoms of COVID, or signs of illness, your visit will be moved to telehealth.
At your birth, I ask that you limit attendance to no more than 3 support persons and that all attendees answer no to all of the COVID-19 screening questions and have a required negative COVID test within 3 days of the birth. Not only is it my responsibility to help reduce the transmission of the virus, but I absolutely need to continue to working through this period to serve families and the larger DMV midwifery community during this time. Please help keep me available for our clients!
