MAY 18, 2020 -- As the state of Minnesota loosens Stay at Home restrictions and allows some businesses to reopen, NH+C's precautions will stay in place.

APRIL 27, 2020 – Northfield Hospital + Clinics now has Video Visits as a new alternative for clinic appointments.

Video Visits are face-to-face appointments with a NH+C health care provider through a phone, computer or tablet. Video Visits help you and your provider manage chronic conditions like diabetes or asthma, or treat common illnesses like sinus infections, rashes or allergies.   

Face masks limit the spread of virus. Wearing a mask protects others, by keeping your breath and cough away from them. It adds another layer of protection (like physical distance) to prevent you from spreading germs to others if you don’t know whether you have a virus.

A cotton mask is a good option. When you wear a cotton mask, change it when it gets wet -- including condensation from your breath. Wash it in hot water with regular detergent.

APRIL 21, 2020 – Northfield Hospital + Clinics is now using face masks for all staff and patients as an additional precaution to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

This is based on CDC’s recommendation that all individuals cover their faces in health care facilities. Masks are required for everyone entering the hospital.

NH+C is also screening all those who enter the hospital for symptoms of COVID-19; this includes taking temperatures.
