The COVID-19 Safety Precautions We’re Taking at Our Urgent Care Center in Tampa, FL

COVID-19 Safety Precautions Tampa FL

Amid the current COVID-19 pandemic, everyone is encouraged to practice social distancing as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Of course, as you take reasonable precautions against the spread of the novel coronavirus, you may still be working and going about your other day-to-day activities. As your life goes on, so does the possibility that you may need non-emergency urgent care services at some point.

So, what should you do if you need medical attention for a non-life-threatening illness or injury, such as a sore throat, urinary tract infection, or sprained ankle? The team at South Tampa Immediate Care in Tampa, Florida, wants you to know that we are ready to help—and you can rest assured that we will do everything possible to protect your health.

What We’re Doing to Keep You Safe

At South Tampa Immediate Care, we are taking appropriate precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within our office and community. Here’s what you can expect when you visit our urgent care center:

  • Every member of our team will be wearing a face mask.
  • We will provide a face mask to each patient who is not already wearing one.
  • We will separately triage patients who currently have or recently had a fever or respiratory symptoms.
  • In each treatment room, we will sanitize the door handles, chairs, and examination tables after a patient leaves.
  • We will sanitize all public areas of our office throughout the day.

As an alternative to a traditional, in-office visit with a provider at our urgent care center, we also offer telemedicine services. Through the use of secure technology on a laptop or smartphone, you can receive expert medical advice without ever having to leave the comfort and safety of your own home.
