Masking Highly Recommended

Due to the summer surge, masking is highly recommended in all patient care areas and common spaces. Let's keep our workplace safe. Thank you for your cooperation.

On Lok's Infection Control Team highly recommends indoor masking in all patient care areas due to a summer surge in COVID-19 infections. This adheres to the Department of Public Health's guidance. Masking is not mandatory at this time, yet it is recommended for the safety of our participants and employees.

What IS a patient care area?

• “Patient Care Areas” are any areas participants regularly access to receive healthcare. They include day health centers, On Lok-operated housing facilities, lobbies, waiting rooms, examination rooms, transports, elevators, and hallways. They also include home settings when home health and care are delivered.

-Masks are available at the front desk at each of our centers.

What IS NOT a patient care area?

• 45 Admin (SF)

• Fremont Admin

• 30th Street Senior Center (only areas not serving participants)

• Community Day Services (CDS)

• Gee Admin 3rd floor

• Center administrative offices or staff break areas that are only accessible to staff

The Infection Control Team reminds everyone to adhere to On Lok's Safe Return to Work (RTW) guidelines and PPE protocol. These are available at On Lok Central* (*remote staff will need to connect using Global Protect.)
