Coryell County Commissioners held an emergency meeting Monday morning to address the county’s response to the current Corona Virus Disease-19 outbreak.
To help reduce the spread of the COVID-19 novel Coronavirus and similar respiratory illnesses, Coryell Health is expanding its existing patient concierge services by screening patients and family members for potential risk factors of COVID-19 at the front door of each of their facilities. Patients that are at risk will be offered further evaluation in a drive-through setting that also maximizes protection of patients and Coryell staff. Patients with acute needs will be referred to the emergency department. Clinic hours have not changed and patients are encouraged to continue arriving for appointments as previously scheduled.
