In keeping with the New Jersey statewide standardized visitation policy, the Northern New Jersey region, which includes St. Joseph’s Health, has been elevated to a “Level Yellow” status for all visitors, going into effect today, Friday, December 3, 2021. Although the St. Joseph’s Health COVID-19 positive patient volume continues to remain steady with slight upticks, the change in status is based on the coronavirus risk levels in surrounding communities.
Thank you for serving as our “front door” for so many patients and visitors coming in to St. Joseph’s Health each day. It is critically important that we follow one standard process to screen all patients and visitors for COVID-19 at our points of entry. For your convenience, we’ve assembled a toolkit to assist in the patient/visitor screening process, a key area of observation for DNV/OSHA surveyors. Please print and share this message and the PDF documents with staff who are stationed at patient and visitor access points.
