Kelsey-Seybold is continuing to monitor COVID-19 levels in our communities closely. Recent increases in COVID-19 illness are now at CDC’s Medium community level, which means patients who are at high risk for severe illness, should talk to their health care provider about whether they need to wear a mask and take other precautions, everyone should stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines and everyone should get tested if they have symptoms. As we respond to this increase in COVID-19 levels in our community, we want to encourage all patients to wear a mask during their visit to any Kelsey-Seybold Clinic. At this time, face masks are not required, however we do strongly encourage anyone with COVID-19 symptoms, those who are not vaccinated, or those patients at high-risk of severe illness from COVID-19, to wear a mask.
