Important Reminders for Appointments During COVID.

To help mitigate these risks we are tightening efforts to protect you, your children and our Chapel Hill Pediatric employees.

Please respect:

#1 One parent with child during appointment (face coverings required if 3 years and older)

#2 Limit of one child (scheduled patient) in room during appointment (siblings joining is strongly discouraged)

#3 Request that well child appointments be rescheduled if your child is less than 14 days from close exposure to person with positive COVID-19 test and/or if your child has symptoms of a COVID like illness.

Together we can & must tame the spread of this virus.

COVID–the risks are REAL!
