The screening consists of three questions:
1. Do you have a fever or worsening cough or flu-like symptoms?
2. Have you traveled to China, Japan, Italy, Iran or South Korea in the last 14 days?
3. Have you been in close contact with someone, including health care workers, confirmed to have the coronavirus disease?
Per CDC guidance and VA protocols, individuals known to be at risk for a COVID-19 infection are immediately isolated to prevent potential spread to others.
To assist with traffic flow, all veterans, visitors and volunteers are asked to utilize the Gettysburg or South Liscum entrances between 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Monday to Friday.
All three gates will be open to everyone from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday. During evenings and weekends, the Gettysburg and South Liscum gates will be closed – all traffic should come through the North Liscum entrance during nights and weekends.
The screening process will continue seven days a week, 24 hours a day for the foreseeable future.
If you have symptoms or have been exposed to someone with symptoms, call the VA before going to the facility.
