Based on recent guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Centers of Medicare (CMS), Humboldt County Memorial Hospital is able to make some welcomed changes to our COVID-19 protocols.

Effective immediately, masking and screening is no longer required for our patients, visitors, and staff.

If you would prefer our team to wear a mask during your visit, please ask. We will happily comply with your request.

We do ask that patients and visitors notify us at any time with the following information.

• A positive COVID-19 test in the last 10 days OR

• Any symptoms of COVID-19 OR

• Any close contact with an individual testing positive for COVID-19 in the last 10 days.

*Visitors: we ask that all non-emergent visits are delayed if you respond yes to any of the above.

We encourage everyone to get vaccinated and stay up to date against COVID-19.

*This is subject to change based on our community transmission rates, COVID-19 outbreaks and any updated guidance from CDC, CMS or our local or state Public Health Agencies.
