At Blaine Orthopedic Surgery Center, the health and safety of our patients and staff is always our number one priority. With this in mind, we are continuing to closely monitor the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) outbreak.  In addition to staying in constant contact with the Minnesota Department of Health, we are staying up-to-date with the latest information from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO).

 

APPOINTMENTS/VISITORS:

  • In an effort to keep everyone safe, we ask that all patients follow the below testing guidelines:
    • Patients who are symptomatic or who have recently been exposed to someone with COVID-19 will be required to test prior to surgery. At home tests are allowed to show a negative result prior to surgery.
  • In an effort to keep everyone safe, we are asking all patients/visitors to NOT enter the building, and instead call to reschedule appointments if the following apply to you:

    • Feel ill on the day of your appointment.
  • Current masking recommendations will be discussed with patients as part of the pre-operative communication. Please let us know if you would like our staff to wear a mask during your episode of care. If you wish to wear a mask and do not have one; we can provide a mask pending our supply availability.

  • Avoid close contact with sick people.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue or your elbow.
