[MCOH-EH] Preprocedure COVID testing

[Radke, Laura L. M.D.]

We are getting some inquiries from physicians about whether or not we need to continue with our preprocedure/preadmission COVID testing for patients.  Wondering if others have made changes to their programs and/or what is felt to be current general state.  I heard from our lab this morning that our COVID test positive rate for symptomatic individuals is 30%, so we definitely have a lot of infection in our community.

Appreciate any insights!
