As the COVID-19 pandemic eases, and as the number of fully vaccinated Virginians approaches 50%, VIPCare has adjusted its COVID precautions in line with recent recommendations from medical experts.

MEMORANDUM

to: ALL VIPCARE CLIENTS

from: DOUG THORPE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

subject: COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS

date: May 20, 2021

For the health and safety of all VIPCare clients and staff:

· If you are feeling sick, have a cough, fever, loss of taste, or shortness of breath, please do not come to VIPCare for your appointment. We will gladly reschedule your appointment for a later date and will waive any late-cancellation fees.

· If you have an in-person appointment at a VIPCare office, please wear a face mask or cloth covering over your mouth and nose while you are in the waiting room, or wait outside until your counselor is ready for you.

· In your counseling session, you and your counselor can discuss the appropriate precautions to protect both of you, depending on risk factors and immunity status.

All VIPCare counselors continue to be available by videoconference or telephone if you prefer.

Thank you for working with us to keep everyone as healthy as possible.
